There is now a new printing process for printing from wireless laptops in the Tempe and West campus libraries. We are now able to offer printing for both Windows (XP and Vista) and Mac (OSX) operating systems. Instructions for this new process are available online: Windows XP and Vista or Mac OSX
Instructions for laptop printing for the Downtown Phoenix and Polytechnic campus libraries are available from UTO’s online Help Center.
Please contact the Library Systems Help Desk at 480-965-9093 if you have any questions or problems.
Students logging into library computers this fall may notice a big change in what they see … or they may not. Staring Monday August 25, the student computers in the libraries on the Tempe and West campuses will have the same software configuration as the computers in the university computing sites. The libraries are happy to be collaborating with the University Technology Office to provide a more consistent computing experience for ASU students.
There are a few minor differences in the libraries’ computing configuration:
Please contact the Library Systems Help Desk with any questions about computing in the libraries.
This summer Fletcher Library will introduce a new computing system for our community users. As with many public libraries in the area, computer users will need to utilize a card and make a reservation to use these computers. The new computer system configuation will go into effect on August 11.
You will need to use either a PC-Reservation Card (non ASU affiliated customers) or ASU ID number to sign up.
If you are not an ASU affiliate, please go to the Circulation Desk to sign up for a PC Reservation card. You will need to show a government issued identification card at the time of application. High school students with current school photo IDs may also register for a PC Reservation Card.
Acceptable IDs include:
- Driver’s license
- University ID (from another university)
- Community College ID?
- Military ID
- Passport
- Current, valid high school photo ID
Once you have your card you’ll have everything you need to make your own reservations.
No, we are not able to allow anonymous users based on university policies. An official ID must be used to get a PC Reservation Card.
The public computers will be against the north wall across from the Circulation Desk. The reservation station will be located in the same area, near the public computers.
If no one is waiting while you are working, the system will automatically offer you the opportunity to renew for additional time. You are, however, limited to 90 minutes of reservation computer use per day.
We have limited resources available to us, and need to ensure equitable access to our limited number of public computers for all non-ASU affiliated patrons.
We apologize for any inconvenience or confusion this transition causes. Please stop by the Circulation Desk with any questions.
Beginning 7pm tonight (Tuesday June 3) all computing in the Hayden Library will be shut down. Both the library workstations and the wireless network will be unavailalble for the rest of the evening. Library users needing computing are encouraged to go to the Noble Library on the east side of campus. The Noble Library will be open until 10pm.

‘s University Technology Officer Adrian Sannier talks to the University Libraries about IT’s new Technology Strategy, the four core elements of the strategy, and the University Libraries central role in the strategy.
In part one of our three part series, Sannier describes how the current, “near follower” technology strategy needs to be challenged. The university, as a vertically integrated industry, needs to let go of technologies it helped to create, and look outside the university to form strategic alliances. He then describes the four core businesses in the technology strategy:
(1) Academic or Learning Technology: university needs to lead the way;
(2) Research Technology: new infrastructure of large data sets;
(3) Fifth campus: online campus, one university many places; and
(4) the Library: digital presence. Stay tuned for our next podcast where Dr. Sannier discusses: Content Management Systems, e-Books, For Profit Publishing, e-Publishing, and Paperless University.
