BeachBoard Services has Moved

BeachBoard -ITS Services has moved to the lower level of the library. We are located in Rooms 11-16+. The + stands for the area where we have collected the ParScore, scanner and computers. This area is available to instructors during the library's open hours. If for some reason the room is locked, please inquire at the Circulation desk for someone to unlock the door for you.
