Computers & Laptops

Desktop Computers

There are 6 computer workstations available on the first floor of the library, located just to the left of the main entrance of the library.

The machines are available on a first-come, first-served basis. All users are required to sign in with their UTORid (or a temporary login, where applicable) in order to access a workstation.

Eligible workstation users:

U of T students, faculty and staff
Guest account holders

Workstation availability:

To check which computers are available for use, please consult Computer Availability Summary: Emmanuel College Library. Additional workstations are available in the nearby E.J. Pratt Library, which is also located on Victoria University Campus.

Software

All of our workstations use Microsoft Windows XP. One of the workstations is designated as the Internet & Microsoft Office computer and is equipped with office software for creating and editing documents. It is the last workstation (far left) in the second row of computers as you enter the main entrance of the library.

See U of T Scotiabank Information Commons for the complete list of software.

Laptops

There are 6 laptops available for borrowing at the Loans Services Desk. A valid TCard is required and they can be signed out for up to 3 hours. Priority is given to Emmanuel students, but undergraduate students may also borrow our laptops. The laptops run on Windows XP and are equipped with office software, wireless printing and wireless Internet access. Study tables all have power jacks for laptops.

Laptops can only be used within the library. Exceptions can be made for Ph.D. students doing a comprehensive exam outside of the library (they must first get the permission of the Circulation Supervisor or the Librarian).

The overdue fine for laptops is $0.50 per hour.

Students can use their own laptops to connect to the UofT laptop network.
See Connecting to the Campus Wireless Network for instructions.
