Mark your calendars for the 4th Annual SMARTFest on Thursday, February 16 from 11am – 3pm! SMARTFest provides WCM faculty, staff, and students a chance to learn more about ITS and Library services, view demos, and ask our tech experts questions on which services may help you with your research and office needs. Last year, we hosted more than 1,100 attendees at SMARTFest!
In addition to tech help, join us for some food, giveaways, demos, and our raffle! Check out more details in the video below:

Will library services be affected?
During SMARTFest, there will be many activities going on throughout the library. Many meeting rooms will be unavailable, some spaces may be reconfigured, and there may be a higher level of traffic and noise. We will break down after the event and get the library back to its original state ASAP. We invite you to join the festivities from 11:00 – 3:00, grab some food, and visit our booths to know more about how ITS serves you. We appreciate your understanding during this event and ask you to plan accordingly.
