Computer use and printing
The library currently provides 32 computer stations.
Library computers are intended to support coursework and research by providing access to the library's resources, Blackboard, myACG and Microsoft Office. A limited number also include PASW Statistics.
Academic use, including printing, is given priority over recreational uses.
As these are public computers, remember to log out from online services. Do not save private or confidential files on them.
Printing is free, but please do not use paper wastefully. If you have difficulties printing, ask a library staff member to assist you.
Go wireless
Wireless internet access is available in all areas of the library. No password is required. There are outlets on the floor to plug in your laptop.
