Overview of Services

Equipment Loan Program

The Equipment Loan Program offers a large variety of technology and multimedia resources in support of individual, academic projects and pursuits for up to 7-day usage. These resources allow discovery of emerging technology tools, development of creative skills, and delivery of rich multimedia projects, as well as enabling continuity with technology in project and coursework needs.

Computer Labs & Software

We support almost all computer labs across our campuses that serve a variety of academic needs. Ranging from open-access spaces for study and group collaboration to in-classroom labs for instruction as well as kiosks in several busy locations. Our computers boast a wide range of software applications for numerous academic uses and several printing options.

Printing & Posters

At our Lakeside campuses, we support the printers in all our computer lab and kiosk locations. Our printers use the MobilePrint system allowing quick printing from lab machines as well as ease of sending documents from your Loyola email address on any device to print. We also oversee the large-format poster printing services across all three campuses and continue to expand custom print services like button making and more.

Button Making

Are you looking to make your student organization or department stand out at resource fairs and events? How about creative ways to celebrate teams or individuals? We offer printing services for buttons, enabling customized promotional material or mementos as affordable prices and flexible order quantities.

Media Production

Faculty and staff looking to expand their instruction materials or web resources with multimedia content can take advantage of our service request process for Media Production Studio projects. Available across our three main campuses, our studios are equipped with professional grade equipment and skilled Media Production Specialist staff who are eager to collaborate with you to take instruction possibilities to new levels.

Zoom Webinars

Faculty and staff that wish to host virtual events with more presentation-focus and moderated attendee communications should submit request to schedule Zoom Webinars. This allows you to host and lead your virtual event, leveraging capacity beyond the 300 Zoom Meeting limit, options for registration and reports, and unique features like Q&A that can make your virtual experience stand out.

WebCheckout

Departments with needs for inventory circulation, asset management, or self-service resource or room reservations should look no further than WebCheckout. You can maintain your resources, set specific access and usage policies and leverage robust usage reporting, all with ease.

WTC Vocal Booth

Our Vocal Booth is a near-soundproof enclosure that can accommodate up to 2 individuals for ease of high-quality audio recordings for podcasting, interviews or narration. This resource is located within our Water Tower Campus Digital Media Lab and available for walk-in use and by reservation.
