Technology Assistance CenterChris Snyder, 227-2258 csnyder@email.wcu.edu The Student Technology Assistance Center (STAC) has recently changed locations within Hunter Library and is now located in the student computer lab. The STAC's focus is still on the individual learning needs of the student, but now the help is available within the actual computer lab. If students need help using word processing programs, spreadsheets, databases, electronic presentations, campus network tools (such as My Cat, WebCat, FTP, etc.), or the Internet (such as web browsers and newsgroups), they can call the Center's coordinator or stop by for an appointment. Check the web site at: www.wcu.edu/techassist/ for the dates and tiems of small-group, student-only technology workshops.
