Using computers at FHL

We encourage you to use your personal laptops whenever possible. Please ensure that your laptop has an active anti-virus program.
Additionally, we have both Macintosh and Windows laptops available for loan. Please visit the IT office in the Computer Lab for check-out.

You may use any of the common use computers in the Computer Lab. The Computer Lab doors are open from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm Monday through Friday. If you would like to access the Computer Lab after hours, contact FHL IT or visit the IT office for the door code. If you would like any programs installed on the common use computers, let us know!

All common use computers have the same login credentials, which are posted in the Computer Lab Building.

Scanning

There is a high-resolution scanner for your scanning needs located in the Computer Lab, and others are located in the Fernald Library and Office. If you are unsure of how to use the scanners, let us know and we will assist you to the best of our ability.

Printing

There are two printers available for use in the Computer Lab. The common use computers are already connected to these printers, though you are welcome to connect to these printers from your laptop as well. Ask if you need assistance.

There is no charge for prints or copies made for class use, but we ask you to conserve trees and ink by printing and copying only when necessary.

For personal use, prints and copies cost 10 cents per side for black-and-white and 25 cents for color. Please keep track and pay using the coin box by the printers, or visit the main office to pay by other means.

Poster Printing

There is a HP 46” Color Poster printer in the Computer Lab. Please contact fhlit@uw.edu with your requested print job attached. We will let you know when your poster is available for pick-up.

Posters are $1 per inch by the short side. (A 42″ x 32″ poster will cost $32.)

Video Conferencing

There is a video conferencing room in the computer lab. Please email IT staff at fhlit@uw.edu or the main office at fhl@uw.edu to schedule a day and time for your meeting.

Please remember to check the schedule posted on the computer lab window and the video conferencing room door for classes or other scheduled events.
