For the consideration of your fellow library users, aromatic meals such as pizza, soups, and take-out (Chinese, etc.) should be consumed in the McKillop Cafe.Please refer to our Food Policy for detailed info. Takeout foods delivered to the library front desk will be refused and returned to the delivery driver.
We ask that you please dispose of trash and recyclables in appropriate receptacles located throughout the library and report spills or messes to staff.
Alcohol, as well as tobacco or vaping products of any kind are prohibited in the library. Cell phone ringers should be disabled or turned to vibrate. Please be considerate of those around you and keep conversations to a minimum and at a low volume.
Some library computers have duplicates of the software found in Computer Labs 006 and 005. Here’s where they are in the library and the extra software that is installed.
Pod of 4 PC computers next to the Café and rear pod of 4 PCs on the DVD side:
- IBM SPSS Statistics
- MatLab
- Pro Tax Series (Intuit)
- QuickBooks Premier
- TexMaker
If you need other software, try the Computer Labs in the Garden Level of the Library.
When working on library computers, make sure to periodically SAVE YOUR WORK to an external source such as a flash drive. Library computers are auto-set to restart periodically; upon restart, all saved information is lost. So be sure to use File>Save As and do not save your work to library computer desktops for long periods of time.
The McKillop Library’s public printers are multi-purpose Ricoh machines which can copy, print, and scan to email. Several features are available with these machines:
- Color printing as well as black & white
- Double-sided (duplex) printing
- Scan-to-email feature (to Salve email addresses only)
- Selection of paper sizes
- Laptop printing (Mac and PC) over the wireless network (Salve Students only; excludes Faculty, Staff and Guests.)
Print jobs can be released from any of the four Ricoh multifunction printers in the library: three on the first floor, and one each on the 2nd and 3rd floors (as well as one in the Garden Level across from User Support Services).
You can print from your laptop or other mobile device from https://printing.salve.edu/myprintcenter/ (see the Wireless Printing Guide for detailed instructions)
Students, faculty, and staff need their Salve IDs to release print jobs.
If you have any questions or need help, please ask library staff; we’re here to serve you!
Happy studying!
