Faculty and Staff Resources
Many Cayuga faculty and staff members wish to use technology and other instructional resources to improve their professional performance and enhance presentations for classes or other professional activities. To assist them, the Faculty–Staff Resource Center, a department of the Library, offers equipment, software, print and electronic media.
The center’s Auburn location is on the main level of the library. Its Fulton location is in room F160, with print collections housed in the library.
