I wish the Library would…allow anyone to login into the computers. For instance, I’m starting college next semester and I had to fill out and complete online papers. I had no internet access at my house and I was not able to do what I needed to do.
Yikes! This one is our fault.
While we have specific policies in place in terms of who can access our computers, and how they are able to do so (students at FM need their FM ID card, community residents need to fill out an application for a community borrower’s card at the Circulation Desk, etc.), we never want any of our users to feel like they can’t accomplish what they need to in the Evans Library – as long as it follows our policies and is legalJ.
Hopefully by this time you’ve obtained your student ID card and can access our computers. But for those in similar situations in the future, please speak with a Reference Librarian. We’re sure that we can help you find a solution to your problem – or at least try really hard!

The admissions office let me log onto (what looked like) a public access computer in their office when I was filling out all my paperwork for school. This was a great help to me because my home computer had just crashed. I was also able to ask questions about the paperwork (if I was home, I'd have no one to ask). Maybe the Library computers, which currently enrolled students have to "fight" for when research assignments and papers are due, are not the correct place for future students to find a computer to use. These computer are meant for students/academic assignments. Future students should probably head over to the admissions office. Just a thought.
