Computers in the Library
| Computers are available in Penrose Library for members of the university
community, but some have particular uses. You will also find network
jacks to use with your own laptop computer, and wireless coverage
throughout the building. |
Wireless
The campus wireless network is designed to supplement wired
campus connections. The library provides wireless coverage within
the building. There is also a wireless signal to the south of the
building on the green. Use of the wireless network requires special
configuration. Please visit the University Technology Services (UTS)
Help Desk in the library for assistance or visit http://ivpnweb.cair.du.edu/ |
Network Ports
Penrose provides over 100 network connections for laptop
users. A map is available that shows their locations. Look for jacks
in group study rooms, open seating areas, on pillars, and in faculty
studies. Network cables are available on the main floor from the
Reference Desk. For help with special configuration requirements, see the UTS Help Desk web page,
call the UTS lab (303-871-4700), or call the Library Systems Office
(303-871-2465) during business hours. Please report all non-functioning
connections to Library Systems at the phone number above or email
library-support@du.edu.

Charges will be deducted from your flex account.

Research Help Center
Research Help Center area workstations are intended for library-related research and do not have productivity software such as Microsoft Office. Use the UTS Lab computers or the Research Instruction Room for work requiring word processing or similar activities. |
Research Instruction Room
The Penrose Library Research Instruction Room is located at the stairs, next to Quick Copy.
This room is scheduled by Library faculty for research instruction classes, Writing Program workshops, CTL workshops, or UTS classes, with research instruction classes taking priority. To schedule a library-related class, faculty and instructors should fill out the course related library instruction form or contact the Research Help Center at 303-871-2905.
The room is NOT available for others to reserve for classes. If faculty need a room they should contact Multimedia Services at x1-3595 to book one of the computer labs in Sturm Hall.
Students may use the room for word processing, etc., (overflow from UTS), if no library instruction class is scheduled for the room.
