It is possible to print from your personal laptop to the library's printer/copier workstations. To do this you will need to install a small software package on your laptop. Links to download the software are available at the Pharos Uniprint Home Page. Select Click here if you know which software package you need to install and then Library Printers and/or Library Color Printer.
All of the study carrels in the library are equipped with data ports and power outlets, providing wired access to the campus network. The study tables in the front reading rooms also have power outlets and data ports. To connect to the wired network with your own laptop, you need to have a network card and cable.
