The Biola Tech Commons, located on the middle level of the Biola library, provides in-person technical services and support to students, staff, and faculty. Phone, email, and remote support assistance is also available through IT Helpdesk Appointments.


Technical Services and Support

The Tech Commons supports most Biola technology like computers, wireless networking, Google applications, printing, and more. Staff and faculty that need assistance with their Biola owned computers can bring them to Tech Commons.

Computers in the Library

The Windows and Mac desktop computers in the Library are available for staff, faculty, students, and alumni to use with a NetID and password. Computers in the library have a host of software applications installed to support learning, teaching, and research. Make sure to save your data to an external device or cloud storage when using these public computers - we clean off the storage drives regularly for your protection.
