Public Computing in Albertsons Library
Albertsons Library computers are funded by student technology fees and are restricted to use by students, faculty, and staff. We do, however, have a small number of machines available for community members and visiting researchers who are performing library research. Please be aware that during periods of heavy demand our librarians may only be able to provide minimal service to non-Boise State University patrons.
Guest Computing Policy:
- Use is restricted to library research (no games, movies/Youtube, email, Facebook/MySpace, general Internet, etc.).
- All users must agree to and abide by Boise State University's Information Technology Resource Use Policy. Users should pay particular attention to the policy's prohibited actions.
- Guest use is limited to one hour per day.
- Guest users must present identification and request a guest password at the first floor Library Circulation Desk and sign-in. Guest pass users must be 18 or over.
- Violations of these policies, including the Information Technology Resource Use Policy, will result in loss of computing privileges.
Wireless access is available throughout the Albertsons Library. Guest wireless access is also available; however, wireless guests do not have access to licensed library resources.

Printing: more info
All computers print via the University BroncoPrint system. Printing requires either a student ID or a BroncoPrint card. BroncoPrint cards can be purchased at the library (please see the first floor Circulation Desk for more information). Wireless printing is not available at this time. Printing in the library is set to duplex (double-sided) printing by default, but may be changed if desired. More information can be found on the Printing, Photocopying, and Scanning website.
