Computer Use Policy
Butler Community
Library workstations are available to all Butler University
students, faculty, staff, and emeriti. Patrons may log on using
their Butler username/password. Members of the Butler community are
allowed full access to all workstation resources. If you are a
member of the Butler community and are unable to logon (e.g.,
username/password not working, new student, forgot your password,
etc.) please go to the Information Commons Desk for assistance.
Visitors
Visitors to Irwin Library may ask for a guest logon at the
Information Commons Desk. Please note that during busy times,
members of the Butler community will receive preferential access to
all library workstations. Visitors who are not Butler alumni or
students of a PALNI or ALI school will be limited to one hour of
computer use. Printing is available from wired library
workstations, but abuse of the printing privilege or disturbing
other library patrons will result in denial of future services.
Children under 18 will not be logged onto a computer unless
accompanied by an adult.
Wireless Access
Wireless access to the Internet via laptops or handheld devices
is available throughout the libraries. Using "View Wireless
Networks" on your laptop will show "BU Guest Wireless." This
network will provide you with Internet access without needing a
special Butler logon. Wireless printing is not available to
visitors.
Class Use of Library Computer Labs
Butler faculty who wish to bring a class to the library for
research should contact the Information Commons Librarian. If
library instruction is also requested, please contact your liaison
librarian.
