Both the Research Commons and Study Commons now have a walkie talkie for contacting the on duty IT staff. The IT staff assigned for any given shift will carry a walkie talkie, so they can be contacted when not immediately available in the help desk area or reachable by phone. In the Research Commons, the walkie talkie is located at the IM Workstation. In the Study Commons, the walkie talkie is located at the help desk.
