Since its opening in September of 1995, the Technology and Research Center has become the hub of academic activities. Here students gather to research topics through a variety of media. The Center houses our library facility, and not only offers the traditional stacks and reference material but is enhanced via electronic formats such as CD-ROMS, T-1 Internet access, on-line encyclopedias, access to full document searches of any printed material, photo archival retrieval, OPAC on-line electronic searches of our own collection, all within a fully networked environment.

    Within the Center, special sections are designated as resource areas for every academic discipline, with two larger sections for math / science and one for humanities. Teachers from various departments are available during any period to assist students.

    In our Multi-purpose DeMatteis Hall there is a projection monitor that will project DVDs, Video Cassettes, Networked Computer Applications, Internet Web Pages, and Educational Cable Programs onto a large 12 foot screen. Group presentations for classes as well as faculty staff development are held here.

    Our networked IBM computers and an assortment of peripherals (digital camera, networked laser printers, scanners, color laser printer) are constantly being updated with the latest technology. Wireless cababilities throughout the building further offer Internet access into every classroom.

    Software for every discipline has been carefully selected and integration of technology into our curriculum has been very successful through efforts of our full time Technology Center staff.

    Any school or individual wishing to visit our Technology Center should call Xaverian at 718-836-7100 ext. 189, or e-mail the Technology Director.
