WiFi and computer use
Free WiFi is located around the Library and can be accessed using a password which is available at the Library. Laptops can currently be used anywhere - plug sockets are found at most desks. A limited number of desktop computers are currently available.
Printing/photocopying/scanning
Registering your membership card with the Library's printer system is the first and only step in associating your card with your printing account. This is used for releasing print jobs, photocopying, and scanning to email. Please note that these services are currently free.
The overhead book scanner is available for larger or more fragile items.
How to register your membership card with the printers
- Tap your membership card at the card reader on one of the large printer/copier/scanners in the catalogue hall and you will be prompted to register the card.
- Enter in the email address you have registered with the Library as your username, and your five-digit membership number as a password.
- After that, each time you tap your card you will be logged into your account at that printer. Please remember to sign out when you are finished.
Printers in the Times Room and Reading Room will automatically print pages that are sent to them and the large copier/printers in the catalogue hall require you to releases the print job from the printer itself. These machines also function as photocopier/scanners, and you can access these features by tapping your card to login.
