Library Computers & Software FAQ

How many computers are there in the Library?

36 on the first floor

Do I need anything special to login to one?

All users must have a library card (campus ID). You use your library barcode and PIN number to login. You can get your campus ID, barcode and PIN at the Circulation Desk on the first floor.

Is there a limit to the amount of time I can spend on the computer?

Students are setup for a 2 hour session, which can be self-extended for another hour. Students can have as many sessions in the day as they need.

Do you charge for printing?

We charge 5¢ a page for black and white printouts
