Computers and Network Access

Our main computer labs are located on the 2nd and 3rd floors on the northwest side of the building, although we have computers available on every floor of the library. 

Labs are open whenever the library is open.

All our lab computers (including both PCs and Macs) are equipped with the following:

  • Microsoft Office Suite
  • SPSS
  • Mathematica
  • VLC
  • Chrome and Firefox web browsers
  • Adobe Creative Suite (Mac computers only)

Collab Stations

Chester Fritz Library has three collaborative workstations for group work available in some of the study rooms. Each workstation is mounted on a mobile cart with a 46-inch display. The workstations include a wireless keyboard and mouse. A webcam is integrated into each workstation for video group chat and conferencing. Additional software is available on Citrix.

Wireless Guest Access

If you are using your own device and would like wireless internet access, you may self-register for a temporary wireless network account. You will need a mobile phone in order to receive your verification and sign-in credentials.

Temporary Guest Computer Access

Note: During the renovation period, library computers are restricted for use by UND students, faculty, and staff. Temporary guest accounts for library computers will not be issued during this time.

Guests may request access to library computers by asking for a temporary guest account at the Ask Us Desk (during regular Ask Us desk hours) or the Access Services desk on nights and weekends when the Ask Us Desk is closed. You will need to provide a photo ID and either your email address or a phone number for verification. Guest access may be requested for 24 hours. If you would like to renew your guest pass, you will need to bring your photo ID to one of the service desks as noted above and request a renewal.

Getting Help

If you need help with the computers, scanners, or printers, ask at one of the service desks on the second floor.
