Software
Library desktops and laptops are all loaded with a standard software package to meet the computing needs of most students.

Personal Laptops
At peak hours Library computers are very busy so students are encouraged to use their own laptops.

Wireless internet is available throughout the building. When connected to AUS_Wireless network, personal laptops can:

• Access the internet and network folders
• Print on Pharos enabled printers (Pharos client installation required)

The IC Help Desk offers help with configuring laptops for network and printing and distributes network cables. For more information please see Information Commons Help Desk.
