Library computers are available as well as wireless access to personal devices through the myLSU login.
Non-LSU visitors can use the computers by having a library staff member login for a guest. Visitors may also use their laptops or mobile devices to access the Internet by having a library staff member create a temporary guest account for them.
Projectors/Glassboards
ScreenBeam, short-throw projectors, and projection glassboards are available in Library Conference Rooms 2 and 3. ScreenBeam allows a user to connect their laptop or cellphone to the projector/TV without the need of software, wires, or adapters. The projectors give short throw capability, which allows images to be projected from a short distance. The projection glassboards are a high-definition glass writing surface that can be used with the projectors. Markers may be checked out at the Library’s Circulation Desk and used in the Library only.
ScreenBeam and TV monitors are available in Library Conference Rooms 4 and 5.
DO NOT touch the ScreenBeam equipment! DO NOT use adapters in Library Conference Rooms 2, 3, 4, and 5.
All conference rooms have TV monitors and/or glassboards.
