New Charging Stations in Library



McIntyre Library [AND] the UW-Eau Claire Student Government Information Technology Commission (ITC) are happy to announce new charging station tables in the library’s 24 hr study area.  These tables, which were purchased by the ITC using funds from student segregated fees, have built-in cords for powering cell phones and tablets of all types and 3-prong AC outlets for charging laptops or other items. Each table has four sets of power cords and AC outlets so that no matter where you sit, you won't have to fight with your peers to charge your device. Thank you ITC!
