Login Required for Using Library Computers
Beginning in May 2005, all users will need to log in when using the Library’s computers. In order to ensure that computers intended for student use are available for that purpose, a username and password are required to access public computers in the Library. The login feature provides a more secure, safe and reliable computing environment that is difficult for hackers to compromise. Please see the Computer Login Policy for more information.
