Computers

  • The Computer Availability in the Veterinary Medicine Library website shows all of the Unity workstations in the Library. The majority are College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM) Unity workstations which NCSU patrons may use to access their Unity filespace and the full suite of Unity applications. The two NCSU Libraries Unity workstations at the entrance to the Library do not have the CVM-specific applications. All Unity workstations in the main reading room and conference rooms normally print using your AllCampus/OneCard balance to the A110-2 B&W printer in the current periodicals area. You may also select printers in the copier room: a110-1 for B&W or a110-color1 for color printing.
  • Visitors may use the two guest library workstations in the Veterinary Medicine Library. These computers provide quick access to the internet, to the Libraries catalog and databases, and to some productivity software, but not Unity file access. One of these is located on the south side of the Service Desk for quick lookups, and the other is located next to the A110 copier room. These computers print to the VML printer, which requires a WolfCopy card to release print jobs. NCSU users may use WolfPrint's "Web Print" on these or any other non-Unity computer.
  • The VML has several PC and Mac laptops and tablet PCs available for loan through the Libraries' technology lending service. These laptops are equipped with the full suite of Microsoft Office applications, as well as web browsers and other basic applications and utilities.
  • Wireless Computing is available in the library. This service provides wireless network access from one of our laptops or from your own laptop. For more information, see the NCSU Libraries' Connecting to Internet and Campus Network page.
  • Laptop Computer Lab The A101 Multipurpose Room can be converted to a laptop computer lab for 24 participants. See laptop lab procedures for more information about reservations and setup.
