• Computer workstations are available for convenient access to the library’s digital resources. Eleven workstations are for Vanderbilt users and require a VUnet ID to log in.  Three public workstations are available for guests.

The library printers are multi-purpose machines.  Both printers print, copy, and scan.  The printer on the left can also send faxes, but it does not receive faxes. If the patron is a patient or a patient family member and needs assistance with printing, copying, scanning, or faxing, please refer them to a library staff member.
