Laptops and Technology
We have a limited number of Dell Inspiron laptop computers available for short-term checkout. To use one of our laptops, please fill out this form.
These computers are well-equipped to handle basic academic tasks like accessing websites, using Microsoft Office programs, and web conferencing (e.g., Zoom). If you need access to other technology (e.g., USB drive, software), please stop by the 2nd floor of Magale Library. We are here to help!
Textbooks and Course Materials
You can purchase all of your textbooks through the campus store, but, if you are still waiting on a book to be delivered, we have a large collection of textbooks for use here in the Learning Commons. You can also search the Magale Library catalog (physical collections) and the reserve textbook directory to learn more about what is available.
Academic Supplies
Need some index cards or an extra notebook? Would a giant marker board to help you gather your ideas for an upcoming research paper? We’ve got you covered!
The supply cart in the Learning Commons is regularly stocked with highlighters, scratch paper, note-taking guides, and other study tools. We also have a multipurpose room (211) equipped with web conferencing items like a green screen and ring light so you can ace online interviews.
Study Hack - Pomodoro Timer
The Pomodoro Technique helps you maintain focus by breaking work into intervals. Work for 25 minutes, take a 5-minute break. After 4 pomodoros, take a longer 15-minute break. This method helps prevent burnout and maintains high productivity throughout your study session. Click here to use our virtual timer!
Academic Planner
Our downloadable Academic Planner makes it easy to stay organized and intentional about your semester. Designed for electronic devices (iPad or tablet), it combines the feel of a traditional planner with the flexibility of digital tools.
Use it to track assignments, exams, and goals; take notes during class; or plan ahead for busy weeks. It’s a convenient, portable way to keep your academic life manageable and in sync with your personal schedule.
GPA Calculator
Our GPA Calculator is a simple tool to help you plan ahead and stay on track toward your academic goals. You can use it to estimate your current GPA or project how future grades might affect it. Whether you’re checking progress toward a scholarship requirement, planning for graduate school, or just making sure you’re meeting your own expectations, this calculator gives you a clear picture of where you stand.
Weekly Schedule Visualizer
This tool helps you see your week at a glance so you can make the most of your time. Enter your classes, work hours, study sessions, and other commitments to create a clear visual snapshot of your schedule. Use the print button, to keep a copy!
This tool can help you find balance, identify open study blocks, and plan realistic routines that support both your academic and personal goals. Use it to experiment with different time management strategies, spot potential conflicts early, and design a week that sets you up for success.
