Home » Library Access to the Campus Backbone for Wireless/Laptop Users

• Have a network interface card (NIC) in your wireless-enabled device or laptop which will support 10BaseT and a patch cable to connect your laptop to the data drop (this cable should have connectivity to your laptop’s network interface card on one end and an RJ45 connector (looks like a big phone jack) on the other);
  

• and register your computer address (Mac Address) with Information Technology Services-- either by going to www.usd.edu/dhcp (with your laptop or wireless-enabled device at hand) or by visiting the Help Desk in room 16, Slagle Hall, 677-5028.

The Library has 24 study carrels and all 3 study rooms wired for patron use.  

Printing for laptop users is not available; users may use one of the campus computer labs for such.

If you have questions about network interface cards, patch cables, or other locations on campus from which you can connect to the backbone with your laptop or wireless-enabled device, please contact the Information Technology Services Help Desk, room 16 Slagle Hall, 677-5028.  Also, see their website; "Connecting to the Campus Network".  

This service is being offered to USD students, staff, and faculty, and as such is subject to all the protocols in place with regard to the use of the University’s computing resources.

If you have questions concerning library connectivity, please contact Heidi Nickisch Duggan, 677-5121, Lommen Health Sciences Library 107A, or email nickisch@usd.edu.
