Facilities

W. W. Hagerty Library
The Hagerty Library supports research in the College of Information Science and Technology through provision of books, periodical literature, and related materials in all fields of inquiry in library and information science. With hundreds of online literature databases and an ever growing collection of electronic books, the majority of Library's resources are now available online via its homepage (http://www.library.drexel.edu/). On-site amenities include close to one hundred PCs for walk-in use by students and hundreds of seating options for quiet work or group projects, including over a dozen group study rooms. The staff of ten reference librarians includes an IST subject specialist who is available for individual research consultations.

Computing Resource Center

Located in Room 106 of the Rush Building, the Computing Resource Center (CRC) of the College of Information Science and Technology provides technical support to IST students, faculty, and administrative staff. In addition, the CRC staff provides audio-visual support for all presentation classrooms within the Rush Building. Use of the Computing Resource Center is reserved for all students taking IST courses.

All computers in the CRC are networked, and have high-speed access to the Internet. The computers for general use are Microsoft Windows machines with appropriate applications which include the Microsoft Office suite, various database management systems, modeling tools, and statistical analysis software. Online information resources such as DIALOG, LexisNexis, and OCLC are accessible. IST is a member of the Rational SEED Program which provides cutting-edge CASE and project management software for usage in the CRC and IST classrooms.

IST students can access Drexel’s mail server from within the CRC. Email accounts, Internet and BannerWeb access are available through the Office of Information Resources and Technology.

Other Facilities
The College maintains 7 classrooms equipped for audio-visual presentation. These rooms typically contain a networked PC, VCR, ceiling mounted projectors, and other equipment for presentations and demonstrations.

Information Technology Lab

In 2005, IST designed and built a laboratory in support of the new degree program in Information Technology. This lab consists of enterprise class information technology hardware that students would encounter in industry positions. The hardware includes more than a dozen servers that are available to students and CISCO networking hardware. The hardware is networked and reconfigurable as needed for the various classes the laboratory supports. In addition a special system has been built into to the classroom to allow real time control of all classroom workstations.
