UWM Music Library Student Employee Guide: Staff Computers& Internet access

 

Computer Kiosk Support: x4040

Specialized Computers: x3999

There are no public photocopiers in the Library. We now have flatbed scanners that can be used to send 'copies' to the Wepa printers (see box elsewhere on this page) or to create single/multi page PDFs that can be saved to a thumbdrive or emailed. These are available in several areas of the library, including the Music Library. Instructions for using the equipment are available as well. 

WiFi

For technical questions about wifi please consult UITS staff at the Learning commons desk.

 

There are four wireless options available for users in the Library depending on eligibility.

• UWM WiFi authenticated access – is the preferred access option for faculty, staff and students because of its security and speed.  Once configured simply click on UWMWiFi to obtain encrypted secure wireless access using an ePantherID and password.
• eduroam – eduroam is a secure worldwide federated network of institutions providing access to their local wireless service to visitors from participating eduroam institutions. Currently there are over 3,500 participating institutions worldwide.
• UWMVisitor - This network is for visitors to UWM - those guests who do not have either an ePantherID or are not part of the eduroam federation.
  • No Login ID is required, but a password is - the password will change every 180 days, in accordance with campus policy, so it will available at the Circulation Desk.

 

 Update  5 Sept 2018

Logging into the Computers

Some student workers will be issued a unique id and password or have their own ePanther Id logins activated to work on staff computers in the UWM Libraries.

Logging into ALMA and Other Programs

If you are working within ALMA, you will login with your ePanther ID. If you are working in ILL ILLiad software or User Services LibGuide software, you will receive separate login information. 

General Information

UWM Libraries staff computers are to be used for work purposes only.   During work hours, operation of these staff computers is limited to University network applications (PAWS, D2L, Pantherlink, Pantherfile, etc.), as well as, ALMA, MS Office and Web resources required to fulfill job objectives. 

We ask that you please refrain from using recreational or social media sites while working on staff computers.  Although we keep the operating systems and virus definitions up to date,  if you do encounter an unusual pop up message that interferes with normal operation on the staff workstation please contact your supervisor immediately so Library Systems can address the issue before it escalates into a bigger problem. 

One of the main reasons students and community patrons come to the library is to use our computers for their informational needs and to get their work done.
 

There are 200 PC and Mac computers in The Learning Commons North and South, (Library instruction Room A W194 and Library Instruction room B W190). 

These computers are administered by University Information Technology Services and require an ePanther id to log in.  

The 18 Mac Kisok computers located around the Learning Commons Café require no login and are accessible to public.  Technical issues with these computers should be directed to the UITS Help Desk or help@uwm.edu  or x4040.
