The Information
Management Division is primarily an
internal service unit that manages the
acquisition of library materials,
their cataloging and physical
processing. We also manage
iBistro, the Library's online
catalog as well as this website.
Finally, we manage all of the Library's
computing resources including Public
Access Internet, Esource stations,
telephone systems, WiFi and access to
external
subscription databases.

Public Access
Computing
|
|
The library has three
types of computers: Esource
workstations, Public Access
Internet(PAI) stations and PCs for
children's use. Esource stations
are intended for using the
online catalog,
subscription databases and (in some
locations) Microsoft Word, Excel, and
Powerpoint. These Esource stations
do not access the Internet for general
browsing and lookup. Public Access
Internet stations are for accessing the
Internet and we offer 90 minutes per day
sessions at the Main Library and one
hour per day sessions at the Branch
Libraries.
Ab SMPL library or Internet card and PIN is required to use the PAI stations. |

The Main library and each
branch library is equipped with a
wireless access point that supports both
the 802.11b and 802.11g standards - this
configuration is commonly know as WiFi. |

WiFi provides a wireless
connection to the Internet for laptops
equipped with a WiFi network card.
Most laptops sold in the last two years
include this card as a standard feature. |

There is no per-use fee
or subscription fee for accessing the
Internet through the Library's WiFi
access points. For more detailed
information, here's our
