Scholars Workstation
The University of Hawaii at Manoa Library provides eight computers in the Science/Technology Reference Area and 12 computers adjacent to the main lobby of Hamilton Library equipped with Microsoft Office 2000 software. These PCs are called Scholar Workstations and are intended for use by University of Hawaii at Manoa students, faculty and staff. The Scholar Workstations allow library users to do all or most of their educational and research work conveniently within Hamilton Library.
The workstations located in the Science & Technology Reference Department are in room A-152 (Computer Room). The Computer Room is open during the regular hours of Hamilton Library. There are also 3 flatbed scanners available.
Printing is available via a GoPrint station, at a cost of seven cents a page, and requires a "UHM Libraries Copy/Print Card." See the Library's Business Office to obtain a Card.
There is a time limit of two hours for use of the Scholar Workstations.
Users are expected to know how to use the applications and refer to the applications' Help sections for assistance with software-related questions. Problems with hardware, printing, or Internet access in room A-152 should be reported to the Science & Technology Reference Department (sciref@hawaii.edu); problems with the first floor PCs may be reported to Public Services uhmlibps@hawaii.edu
Additional Workstations available in HL CLIC http://www.hawaii.edu/itslabs/hamilton.htm located on the second floor of the Hamilton Addition.
