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 every floor 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 need to log on with a University provided Username
and password. The student Username is the 1st half of the mymail
email. The password is the student's PIN.
A student may request his/her Username, PIN and email from the Information
Services Help Desk (x3182) located on the 2nd floor of the library.
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 will
be charged 10 cents per page for any printing. The University’s
computer use policy applies to community users as well as MSSU
students.
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.

This arrangement is subject to change if it is determined that a per page charge is warranted.
