Logging Off
There
are currently two computer labs here at the school. The main
lab
is in the Library at 290 Cedar street (sometimes referred to as the
"290 lab"). The second is located in the lower level of the
350
building (the "350 lab"). Both labs are available whenever
the building is
open.
The 290 lab is often used for classes. The
schedule for
the lab is posted outside the door, and is also available online here:
This
month's lab schedule.
Unless the schedule states otherwise, you can still use the lab during
training sessions, as long as there are unoccupied seats, and you work
quietly without disturbing the class. Training classes have first
priority for seating in the lab.
Workstations
At each workstation, in addition to the computer, you will find:
- A headset, so that you can watch video or listen to audio
files without disturbing your neighbor.
- A
USB extender cable. This is provided so that you can use a
USB
flash drive, without having to climb under the desk to plug it in.
- In the 290 lab only, there is also a network cable for
laptops.
Software
Each station has the following software:
Windows XP Professional
Microsoft Office 2010
- Word
- Excel
- PowerPoint
- Onenote
Corel Wordperfect X5
Adobe Acrobat Reader
Internet Explorer
Firefox
Media software: You can play just about any type of audio or
video file.

Where To
Store Data
Each
student has 250 MB of storage space on
the school network. When logged on to a computer in the lab,
this
will
show up as your H: drive. It is important that you save all your data
to your H: drive, or to a USB flash drive. Anything that is
saved
to the Windows desktop, or any other location on the hard drive, will
be deleted when you log off of the system. Make sure that
anything you want to keep gets saved to your H: drive.
On the lab computers, the "My Documents" folder goes straight to your
H: drive.
You can also access your H: drive from your laptop or home computer.

Printers
There are two printers in each lab
There is also a printer for Westlaw and Lexis. Use of these
printers will be covered during your training for Westlaw and Lexis
Click
here for full information about printing.
Rules
No food, drinks, or tobacco products allowed in the computer labs.
The
Student Computer Labs are Quiet Study Areas. Because of the
printers and other background noise, the labs aren't as quiet as other
areas, however, the lab is a study area, and it is important
to
keep voices quiet out of respect for the other students in
the
lab, and the work they are doing.
Cells phones must be set to silent mode, or turned off. Cell phones may not be used in the Student Computer Lab.
You
must have a signed copy of the Acceptable Use Form on file.
If
you do not turn in the Acceptable Use Form, then your account will be
disabled.
You can get a copy of the form here.
Logging OffIt is very important that
you log off the computer when you are finished in the Student Computer
Lab. Simply click the Start button, then click "Log Off".
You will get a dialog box asking if you are sure you want to log off. Click Log off, or just press Enter, to confirm, and log off.
Shortly after you log off, the system will reboot. When the system reboots, it runs a program which cleans up
the
hard drive, and puts the hard drive back the way it was before you
started. When we have this many people all using these
computers,
this helps keep the computers happy and healthy.
