The phone can be used to call both inside the library (7 and the extension number) and off-campus (9-1-area code, etc).

In addition, we now have taped-down instructions on use of the equipment on the trainer's station. Christine Marrero is in charge of scheduling the room (x73747). Thanks go to Ben Chittty and Christine for setting this up. Alexandra Alexandra de Luise Coordinator, Instructional Services Associate Director, Queens College Art Center Benjamin S.
