This computer room is fitted out with 12 PC's running on Windows XP. All the computers are part of the University Managed Cluster Service (MCS) and Public Workstation Facility (PWF). To use these computers you will need to login using your CRSID (1st part of your e-mail address) and your PWF password. When you have finished with the computer please remember to logout.

4/13 Computer Room

This computer room is reserved for the exclusive use of graduate students. The login procedure for the computers in this room is the same as 4/10.

 

Computers in the Library

OPAC Terminals

The OPAC terminals are used only for self issue of books to be taken out of the Library and, enquiries on the Library book catalogue. If you are unsure on how to use these terminals please ask a member of the Library staff.

Newton PC

There is one PC in the Reading Room that is configured as a client for the University Library online catalogue system called Newton. This is the main online catalogue for the libraries of the University, including Cambridge University Library, its dependent libraries, most faculty, departmental and college libraries

PWF PC's

There are two PC's in the Lobby area of the Library, and one next to the Newton terminal within the reading room. These PC's form part of the PWF Managed Cluster and operate in an identical fashion to those in 4/10, 4/13.

Connecting your Laptop

There are 8 network ports in the Reading Room (l/h side) that are freely available. Please note; these ports are configured so that only registered student computers can use them.
