As student computing labs continue to evolve for the future, the makeup of these labs and the services that they provide are the subject of great discussion. From what software and systems to provide all the way to 3D printing and staff training, this presentation will focus on the future of student computing and technology needs. The Marriott Library at the University of Utah supports multiple student computing labs that offer a wide variety of systems, software, laptop checkout, 3D printing services, hardware checkout, remote software access, and more. As students continue to progress in their level of technology expertise upon entering higher education, this is forcing a massive change in the services that need to be offered for the future. This presentation will focus on the “Service Development & Management” aspects of student computing - what services students are asking for, development of needed services, management & assessment of services, funding models, and staff training to sustain these services.
