To use the computers, you will need to request Visitor Computer Access. This can be done at the Library Service Desk, located to the left when you enter the Chancellor Paterson Library.
Process
- Ask staff at the desk for visitor computer access
- They will have you fill out this form
- They will ask for a piece of photo ID and proof of address
- They will then give you a piece of paper with a username and password
Expiry Date: The username and password you receive will remain valid until the end of the day the following Sunday.
For Example: If you get it on Friday (October 14th), it will expire on Sunday (October 16th). If you want to use the computers again on Monday (October 17th), you will need to reapply for visitor computer access.
When ON CAMPUS, you will have access to all the articles, journals, e-books and databases the Lakehead Library offers. Unfortunately, you will not be able to access all of our services when you are OFF CAMPUS. When searching for articles off campus, we recommend selecting the open access filter in order to look at the Free Databases under A-Z Databases.
