Library Information Technology Services

This guide aims to provide valuable information and assistance to York College students, faculty, and staff regarding their academic technology services. It offers guidance on various aspects, including computer usage, network and wireless devices, printing, scanners, and other peripheral equipment. Should you require any additional information or have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to reach out to the Department of Library Services. We are here to support you in any way we can.

Instructions on How to Use the Library's Technology
The purpose of this instructional handbook is to provide students, faculty, staff, and community patrons with an overview of how the York College Library, as well as its information technology, can be used by students, faculty, staff, community patrons, and the upcoming orientation students who will be using the Library's resources in the near future.

In this guide, Library staff and users will be given a guide on how to access information about the wide range of information technology support and services available in the Department of Library Resources, Services, and Technology within the Library. I have compiled a list of technology resources and content features that are currently active in the Library department, which have been highlighted and made available to all users by the Library department, based on information from the academic computing and information technology department's website and the Library's annual report on technology and systems.

The purpose of this handbook is to enable both Library users and Library staff to explore contemporary digital computing systems and help them understand the best ways to utilize devices where Library functions extend beyond traditional computers.
