Dimensions Lab Assistant Hours:
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. Lab assistants are working in the lab when by a sign that lists Staff Available. Please be aware that student-staff schedules are subject to change at a moment’s notice. When Lab Assistants are absent or know in advance that they’ll be out, they will update our real-time schedule (Google sheet).
