Frequently Asked Question about
McFarlin Library's Computers

The computers on the Reference Floor require me to log in. How do I do that?

Answer:

The computers in the library now require you to log in before you can use them. You must log in with your TU e-mail username and password, as you would using the University's "myTU" e-mail service. Your user name should be in the form "firstname-lastname", for example, "john-doe". If you've forgotten your password you may need to contact the Computer Help Desk at 631-3500. The librarian at the Reference Desk will be happy to provide assistance if you need help logging in.

One-time visitors will need to go to the Circulation Desk to obtain a temporary username and password in order to log in. These temporary accounts expire at the end of the day during which they are issued.

Library Associates are assigned usernames and passwords for the term of their membership. Alumni may request usernames and passwords. Alumni logins do not expire. However, logins which are inactive for an extended period of time may be deleted.
