The TAC Center is always open for faculty consultation, Monday-Friday from 8-5. Give us a call to set up an appointment or just drop by.

- Copyright Consultation Hours: Navigating copyright rules in the digital millennium and deciding what can be utilized in the classroom or on the Web can be overwhelming and time-consuming. If you have questions regarding the use of copyrighted materials in your classroom (face-to-face or online), Marriott Library and the Technology Assisted Curriculum Center (TACC) are offering drop-in consultation hours. Starting August 3rd, Allyson Mower, Scholarly Communications & Copyright Librarian http://tinyurl.com/allysonbio, will be available on Mondays, 10 am-11:30 am and Fridays, 11 am-12:30 pm in TACC for you to drop by if you need assistance in determining the ways in which copyright law, fair use provisions, and the TEACH Act interact with today’s teaching and learning, especially the use of Web 2.0 tools by both faculty members and students. Allyson can be reached via email, allyson.mower@utah.edu or telephone, 585-5458, if you would like to set up an appointment or discuss any questions during non-consultation hours. You can also consult Marriott Library's copyright overview webpage http://tinyurl.com/uucopyright for more information.

- TACC Has Moved!: At the beginning of June the TACC offices moved into room 1705 on the first floor. This space was formally the Multi-Media Center. You can find us now by entering the west entrance down by the bookstore and once inside heading straight
