Computers, Printing, Scanning & Copying
Computers
The use of computers at Spiva Library is governed by the University's
Computer Acceptable Use Policy.
There are Dell computer workstations located on the 1st, 3rd & 4th floors of
the library. All workstations have the Windows XP platform and Microsoft Office
products.
Students who wish to use a computer located in the library or in another computer
lab on campus will use the MOSO ID and Password assigned to them
to log onto the workstations. This information will be listed on
the financial statement the student receives prior to each semester
of enrollment.
The MOSO ID and Password can be looked up via LionLink.
See the LionLink website for instructions on how to sign on and
access your personal data.
Also, you may request this information if you appear in person with a picture ID at a Dean's office, the Library Reference
or Circulation desks, or the Information Services Help Desk in Matthews Hall, 222.
There are select workstations on the 1st & 3rd floors of the library that
may be used by community patrons. Community patrons must present a photo ID at either the
Reference Desk (3rd floor) or Circulation 2 Desk (1st floor) and sign in,
in order to use a workstation. MSSU students have priority access to these workstations at all times.
Community users are limited to 1 hour of usage per day and have
no printing privleges. The University s computer
use policy applies to community users as well as MSSU students.
The 3rd floor of the library is intended to be an area conducive to students
who are conducting scholarly activities. In a survey conducted by a consultant,
it was noted that cell phones ringing and persons talking on cell phones bothered
many people. It was decided to ban them from this floor and the quiet room
located on the 4th floor.
Chat, IM & game programs are prohibited on 3rd floor
computers because these computers are intended for scholarly activities. Chatting,
etc. may be done on workstations located on the 1st floor near the coffee
shop.
Printing
Each computer workstation on the 1st & 3rd floors, excepting the 2 scanner
workstations is conntected to both a color and a B&W network
printer. Each workstation on the 4th floor is connected to ONLY
a B&W network printer.
At this time there is no per page charge to use a printer for MSSU students, faculty or staff.
This arrangement is subject to change if it is determined that a per page charge is warranted.
Scanning
There is one flatbed (8 1/2 x 11) scanner located at a specified workstation
on the 1st floor and a second scanner located on the third floor. These workstations
are accessed the same way as all other workstations with a MOSO ID and Password logon.
Community patrons need to present a photo ID and be logged on by a library staff member.
The 2 scanner workstations are not networked to a printer. A 30
minute time limit is enforced for the scanner workstations for ALL
users, including MSSU students.
There is no charge to use the scanners.
Copying
The Library has 4 photocopiers. Three machines are located on the third floor; two adjacent to the
Main Circulation desk and one in front of the Reference desk. The
fourth machine is located near the secondary Circulation desk on the
first floor.
All of the photocopiers require the purchase and use of a Copicard. Copicards are available
in the amounts of either $2.00 or $5.00 at the Circulation desks and
work like a debit card.
The 2 copiers by the Main Circulation desk on the 3rd floor and the photocopier near Circulation desk #2
on the 1st floor are B&W copiers that charge 10 cents per copy. The photocopy machine by the Reference desk
is a color copier and charges 25 cents per copy.
