Computing Services

The Research Park Library has 46 3.2 GHz Public workstations for patron use. Each has a floppy drive, CD-ROM drive, earphone jack, and two USB ports in the front of the CPU. There is also one workstation with a scanner allowing patrons to save scanned files to floppy or USB Flash drive or to email scanned files to yourself. Flash Drives are not supplied by the library. Additionally, three of the workstations have JAWS and ZoomText Xtra accessibility software installed for seeing and hearing impaired patrons.

Productivity Tools: Effective summer 06 the Microsoft productivity tools are available to students, faculty, and staff (anyone with a valid UNT EUID) on the public workstations within the library. You will be able to edit and save your documents to a floppy disk, flash drive, the desktop, or your Student Storage (go to http://untss.unt.edu/ and enter your EUID and password). Flash drives provide enhanced options because of their large storage capacity and ease of use.
