Library Computer Classrooms

Malpass Library welcomes the use of its classrooms by WIU students, faculty, and staff for legitimate university‐related purposes including library instruction sessions, department‐faculty‐led course instruction, and course finals. Two Library Computer Classrooms (LCC2 on Malpass Library's 2nd Level, and LCC3 on Malpass Library's 3rd Level) are available for use during regular library hours. A weekly schedule for each classroom posted near its entrance shows when it is open for general use. LCC classrooms are open for individual users whenever they are not reserved for teaching or maintenance.
