The Libraries Systems department makes an effort to staff the Dimensions Lab with student workers Mon-Fri, 9am-5pm for Fall and Winter semesters. These Lab Assistants are available to assist students with lab technology, reservations and to troubleshoot/report issues. There is a sign in the lab that indicates “Staff Available” when Lab assistants are working a shift in the lab. Please be aware that student-staff schedules are subject to change at a moment’s notice.
