Please no food or drink in the laboratory.
Laboratory Hours
The laboratory schedule for the current term is on the Digital Earth web page http://dusk.geo.orst.edu/de (select Teaching Schedule). Instructional time, special events, and open hours are posted weekly outside the door to Wilkinson 210 and on the wall behind the instructor's workstation. These posted schedules are the most up to date and reflect immediate and temporary changes. OPEN on the schedule indicates that no classes or special events are scheduled and students are welcome to use the facilities. The door is locked at other times.
Printing
The Department of Geosciences and laboratory fees support printers. Students' university accounts are not charged for printing. Each student is given credit on the local server and printing charges are subtracted from that credit. Please use this service judiciously. Your credit must last the entire term. If students zero out their credit they will be prohibited from printing in Digital Earth. No additional credit will be given. Students can always print from other locations on campus such as the Student Computing Facilities (http://scf.oregonstate.edu at Milne, Education Hall, and Bexell Hall) and the Valley Library. The Department of Geosciences has installed an ONID printer in room 208. This printer will charge your university account.
Please Note: Black and white printing cost about $0.10 per page and color is about $0.45 per page. Black and white printing on the color printer is counted as color printing so, avoid sending black and white print jobs to the color printer.
Please no food or drink in the laboratory.
