Computer Usage

Library staff can log library visitors that are at least 18 years of age onto a public computer station. Please note that our the primary purpose of public computers in the Libraries is to provide Miami students, faculty, and staff access to information that supports research, instruction and the dissemination of scholarship.Consequently, Miami-affiliated clients receive priority in the use of the Libraries' public computers. Should all computers be in use, non-affiliated clients will be asked to relinquish their computer. Please see our complete Use of Public Workstations Policy for more information.
