Computer Facilities in the Library

Computer workstations using ICT workroom set up are available in each campus library. Staff and students need to login using their UC username and password. These workstations are spread across the floors of each branch. Extra PCs are available in Library training rooms for student use when the rooms are not being used for training.

Also available are a number of "Express PCs" which do not require login, but provide access only to Library resources.

Each Library has printing facilities. Payment for printing is deducted from a Canterbury Card account, or from a casual card.

Wireless & Laptops

Powerpoints are available for laptop access in all campus libraries. While laptops can't be plugged into the University network, UC staff and students can connect to the Internet using the wireless network from designated areas within the Library.
