What is EIR/ICT?

We use a variety of electronic and information resources (EIR) / information and communication technology (ICT) on and off campus to provide information and services, including applications (e.g., desktop, mobile, and web-based apps), electronic content (e.g., documents, presentations, videos), and hardware (e.g., laptops, mobile phones).
