Come Prepared

  • We’re still learning too, so please come prepared to work in a self-learning environment.
  • Tech Hub rooms may be booked in advance by registered users for two-hour sessions during open hours (Note that all rooms are vacated 30 minutes before closing)
  • Bring your own headphones/ear buds.
  • Plan your time carefully: once the computer shuts down, all data will be lost. Bring a USB Drive or have a Cloud Storage account for saving your work. If you are working on large digital video, audio, or high definition image projects, you may need a significant amount of storage space (see Tech Tips for an explanation of mobile and cloud storage)
    • MP3 files are approx 1MB per minute
    • WAV files are 10 MB per minute
    • Digitized video is 1 MB per second
