Borrowing Laptops

Humanities and Arts students as well as faculty members may borrow one of our 24 available laptop computers. The laptops feature relevant programs/applications, and usage is limited to the library's premises.

Laptops may be borrowed from the circulation desk upon presentation of a valid student/staff ID card.

Wi-Fi 

Internet is accessible throughout the library via two optional networks:

• Public-TAU - The recommended network for TAU students, which allows access to Databases. 
  Login requires  a username  and password (see: accessing the network).

• Free-TAU - This network allows all users to use the internet, but blocks access to the TAU databases.
  No username is needed –you may register by using "free-tau" as an access password.
