Public Computers
The Chemistry Library has a limited number of workstations for the use of students, faculty, staff, and Courtesy Borrowers with valid UT EIDs. These machines are in high demand during peak periods.
- UT EID Workstations
- These stations contain SciFinder Scholar and Beilstein Crossfire and are restricted to current students, faculty and staff with valid UT EIDs. Courtesy Borrowers and guests may use their low-assurance EIDs to log on to these stations, but cannot access SciFinder. (Why not?)
- Library Catalog Station
- One station provides walk-up access to the library's online catalog and related service sites.
Wireless access to the campus network is available in the library and throughout Welch Hall. You must have a Wi-Fi compliant laptop and a valid UT EID to log on. For more information see the ITS Public Network page.
- Access is on a first-come basis. Time limits may be enforced when others are waiting.
- Priority goes to those doing academic work and using library resources.
- Playing games and other inappropriate activity is not permitted.
- It is not possible to run software from CD-ROMs on these machines, due to security restrictions.
- Chemical software (such as drawing programs) is not available on library machines. Computer labs in the Chemistry Dept. provide this kind of software for students.
- Unaffiliated guests must claim a low-assurance UT EID and request temporary workstation authorization from library staff before being able to log on to a workstation.
Printing
The Chemistry Library has a black and white printer that allows you to send print jobs from any of the library's workstations or your laptop. A library copy card is required to print. See the
Printing & Copying page for details.
