Located on the second floor of Linscheid Library, this lab was built with funds from the NASNTI HERITAGE grant program.

Students can use the book scanner and one of the 12 iMacs anytime the library is open, as long as the lab is not reserved for a class or event.

• A flash drive or external hard drive is required to save documents. Bring your own, or check one out from the library. 
• Large format and 3D printing are available to anyone for a fee, but many ECU research and course-related projects are eligible for free printing. See the Digital Services page for more information on printing policies.

Instructors can talk to their liaison librarian about booking the lab for classroom use.

All others wishing to use the space should contact Digital Services at audiovis@ecok.edu.

The Special Collections area at Linscheid Library is home to a variety of unique materials, like rare books, photographs, manuscripts, letters, scrapbooks, and business records.

Because of the unusual and fragile nature of the materials, they are housed in the Thompson Room on the fourth floor of the Linscheid Library. Anyone interested in viewing Special Collections should fill out the Request to Use Special Collections form.
