Dual Screen Monitors Added to 40 Public Computers

Forty Bracken 1-East Public PC stations have been enhanced by the addition of dual monitors. The additional monitor doubles the amount of desktop allowing the user to open multiple windows simultaneously. For example, a student may have a journal article open on one monitor and Word 2007 on the other. At present dual monitor stations are also available in the Science-Health Science Library. The Geospatial Resources and Map Collection has had dual monitors for 4 years. Recently dual monitors have been added to many offices in the library, increasing employee productivity.
