Computing/Wireless

Where can I use library computers?
The library has two computer classrooms and an open computing area.  The computer classrooms are open to law students and alumni when not in use for classes.

How do I log in to one of the computers in the Law Library if it prompts for a login password?
Press <Enter>.

Can I connect my laptop to the library computers?
The library provides five docking stations for use with student laptops in the smaller computer classroom by the reading room entrance. Each docking station has two large monitors for your use.  Instructions are posted by the docking stations.

Who do I contact if I have a problem with one of the computers or a question about the software?
Ask for assistance at the Circulation Desk. The problem may be one that the Circulation Desk Assistants can resolve or they will request assistance from a librarian or MediaTech.

 

How do I connect to the wireless network in the Law Library and Law School building?
The first time you connect to wireless, you will be prompted to begin the registration/security remediation process when connecting to the Students1 wireless network. Registration is good for the life of the computer. After registration, you will automatically connect to the wireless network when in range.

The network security key is posted in the library.

Note: Using the Students1 network instead of the RWU Guests network provides students with better bandwidth and improved security. You will also need to be connected to the Students1 network for wireless printing and to use the secure exam software.
 

There are 2 easy ways to print to the library printers.  Once you submit a print job using one of the options below, jobs will be held for 2 hours and can be released at any of the 3 print release stations located in the library print center. For security reasons, wireless printing is only available to students connected to the Students1 wireless network or plugged into the network.

Note that larger print jobs may take a few extra minutes to appear in your print queue
