Computers and Internet Access

Connecting to the Internet

Watzek Library features both wired and wireless networking connections. You will find the wired networking connections at study carrels and tables throughout the library. Wireless networking is active in most areas of the library.

In order to use both our wired and wireless networks, you need to enter your current Lewis & Clark email username and password into a form that will appear in your web browser after you are connected to the network.

• Wireless network instructions
• Wired (Ethernet) instructions for PC
• Wired (Ethernet) instructions for MAC

Wireless access is only available to current L&C Students, Faculty, and Staff. Library staff will supply a temporary username & password to guests for access to Watzek PCs. All questions regarding network use should be directed to Information Technology.

Reference Workstations

In addition to a Mac/PC computer lab, the Library has 22 Windows/PC computers available for productivity (wordproccessing, powerpoint, etc.) and library research applications in the reference area.. Students, faculty, and staff can login to these machines using their Lewis & Clark email (Unix) login and password. Visitors to the library should see staff for a temporary username & password.

Printing

There are two printers connected to the reference computer lab. Any printing done by students will be sent to these printers and be deducted from student printing accounts. Campus visitors may print to the "circulation" printer and may retrieve printouts at $0.10 per page at the circulation desk.

When printing in the reference lab, please note the following tips:

• Use "print preview" to verify what you'll be getting when you print.
• PDF files will display on the screen before they are entirely downloaded. If the PDF file that you are printing is especially large, click on the file to view it, then save the file using the small disk icon on the Adobe Acrobat screen. After the file is saved, find it where you have saved it, click on it, then print it.
• If you do print a large PDF file from the browser, expect a blank box to stay on the screen for a long time while the document is downloading.
• To print two pages per side, click on "properties" on the print dialog box and select "2 pages per sheet" from the drop
  down menu at the bottom.
• Printing from ATLA: Make sure you are in Internet Explorer. Before viewing the full text of the article, write down the page numbers of the article from the citation. Click on the link to view the full text, then click on "print," then enter the page numbers you need.
