Computers, Printing, and Scanning

Library Computers for Students, Faculty, and Staff

For information about computers if you are not a student or faculty/staff please see the information on the Computers for Community Users page.

You'll find computers on each floor of the library, most requiring a UMD internet ID and password. Every floor has at least some Windows computing access via thin clients connected to a virtual desktop, with access levels granted based on enrollment. The second, third, and fourth floors also have some Macs.

The second floor has two document scanners.

See library maps.

If you are a UMD student, staff, or faculty member and need technical help contact the ITSS Help Desk at 218-726-8847.

  • The UMD WiFi network is available to UMD-affiliated laptop and device users.
  • For quick access regardless of affiliation, we have "library catalog only" computers on the first, third, and fourth floors of the library.

Wired Network Jacks

Wired network jacks can be found in some study carrels on the third and fourth floors, and in some tables in the first floor reading room. All floors of the library have good wireless coverage.

Printing in the Library

Please see the ITSS Printing page for printing fees and steps for printing. Library print stations can be found on the first and second floors. Please see the maps for more information.

For information about printing if you are not a student or faculty/staff please see the information on the Computers for Community Users page.

Scanning Documents

For students and faculty, there are two scanners on second floor near the print stations.  Check out the MediaHub in Kirby Plaza 165 for additional scanning options.  For Community Users, one of the Guest Computers has an installed scanner that has instructions on use. 

Microfilm scanning is available at a station on the third floor.
