We
have designed this web site to assist you in using the computer labs available
at St. Joseph's College.
We request that you follow the guidelines below to make your computing practices
at St. Joseph's both productive and enjoyable.
St.
Joseph's College currently has six computer labs in the new Business and Technology
building and one in O'Connor hall. The BT labs are located in rooms B-6, B-10,
B-11, B-14, 1-15, and 1-12. The lab in O'Connor Hall is located in room N223
and is considered an "Open Lab" for the students. Lab 1-15 is our
Multimedia lab, which contains software like Dreamweaver, Director Shockwave,
Flash, Fireworks, etc. Lab 1-12 is our Child Study wireless lab that has movable
tables so that students can easily work in groups. B-6 is our "Open Lab"
for the BT building which has a wide range on software that the students can
work with. For more information about what software is in which lab, check
out our Software Information.
St.
Joseph's College has recently added 24 Smart Classrooms on the second and
third floor of O'Connor hall. These smart classrooms are equipped with a computer,
Dvd/Vcr Player, Receiver, Projector and Speakers.
At
any "Open Lab" time, faculty & staff may come in and use the
computer labs. These times and scheduled classes are posted outside of each
lab. Each open lab is equipped with a color flatbed scanner, zip drive,
CD-Rom Recorder* and
a color deskjet printer for your use.
Open
Labs during the weekend and non-scheduled Reserved Classes are also published
outside of each computer lab. You can view our scheduled Open
Labs and Class
Labs on this site.
In general, logging
in to a computer is as simple as typing the username, which is student
and the password is sjc (the same goes for our portable projector).
Faculty & staff may reserve a portable projector, computer lab or smart
classroom for a class session by clicking on the link, Reserve
a Projector, Computer Lab or Smart Classroom (Faculty and Staff ONLY).
Faculty &
staff are welcomed and encouraged to take one or more Instructional Computing
Workshops which are offered at various times throughout the semester. For
more information, check out the St.
Joseph's Faculty and Staff Technology Training page.
Software may
be requested by instructors to be installed on our computer labs prior to
the start of each semester. If the request for additional software is being
made during the semester, you must contact the lab administrators at labs@sjcny.edu
at least two weeks in advance. During the semester, additional installs are
handled on a case-by-case basis.
Printing
is free, however, please try and conserve the paper (help save a tree). Use
your programs Print Preview function to make all corrections prior to printing
final copies.
Food and beverages
are NOT permitted in the computer labs at any time.
Always save important
files and documents to a floppy disk. Our computers systems will reverse any
changes made to the system upon each restart. This will include any files
you have saved to the hard drive.
When purchasing
floppy disks, please try to obtain those that are High Density and that have
a plastic slide rather than metal. Metal slides tend to become dented and
bent and therefore are more prone to breaking off in the floppy drive. Not
only does this damage the computer, it puts you files and documents in jerpardy.
Even though most
disks come preformatted, it is a good idea to reformat them prior to use.

Lab N223 has been newly renovated with the most up to date computers where
each computer is equipped with a CD-Rom Recorder.
