Computers and Other Equipment

Public Computer Terminals are available in the Biology Library.  You may use these terminals to search the online catalog, article databases, or conduct other research.  Office 2007 applications (Word 2007, Excel 2007, and PowerPoint 2007) are also available for course-related activity, scholarly research, and other activities directly related to the educational, research and public service mission of the University.  Use of library workstations to access electronic services offered by the Library takes precedence over other activities.  Internet access is available on all of the public terminals in the Biology Library.  See Electronic Information Policy for Library Users for policy information.
