SPRING 2025:
Due to staffing reductions, we have consolidated the service point for Digital Design Services with the first floor Library Research & Help Desk. You may now make room reservations and borrow equipment, software, and room keys right inside the front doors of the library. Questions? Give us a call at (216) 687-2479.


EXPERTISE: Digital Consultations

Working on a digital, multimodal, or multimedia project this semester? We can help! Look over our guide on multimodal assignments for recommendations on digital tools and other resources, and consider making an appointment via phone, chat, or web conference for a remote Digital Design Studio consultation with Ben Richards for help navigating the process.

IN-HOUSE ADOBE SOFTWARE

Look or ask for the multimedia production computers in the library's 1st floor Learning Commons Lab. PCs and Macs provide access to Adobe Creative Cloud software. Library staff support for these programs will be extremely limited, but the computers in the Learning Commons are available for current CSU students, faculty, and staff any time the Library is open.

    NOTE: Adobe Creative Cloud and all of its apps (e.g., Photoshop, Acrobat Pro, etc.) require users to sign in with an Adobe account. If you don't already have an Adobe account, you can create a free one by clicking the "Create an Account" link on the Adobe logon screen.



ROOMS & SPACES:
A variety of special-use rooms and spaces for current CSU students may be found on the library's 3rd and 4th floors. Ask at the 1st floor Library Research & Help Desk to make room reservations or to borrow keys. The Video Conference Rooms, Presentation Practice Room, Collaboration Room, and the Podcast Studio may be reserved in advance by calling 216-687-2479.
