Public computers

Computers are available in Newman Library and all of the branches for our patrons' use. (You can see a map of which computers are open and available to use.) Those in Newman and the Art + Architecture branch are maintain by our Library Systems department and have a standard configuration. (Computers in the Vet Med and NVC branches are maintained by other departments; we do not list what software is installed on them.)

Our computers do not require a login. They cannot be reserved in advance; computers are first come, first served. Computers in Newman Library are set to print to the photocopier/printer units located behind the main elevators on the second and fourth floors.
