Public Kiosks

Public kiosk computers are provided to guests of DePaul University and members of the public needing to access library resources, including government information, without needing to provide personal credentials. Public Kiosks are available at both the Richardson Library and the Loop Library. Please note that some of our databases are only available to members of the DePaul community and require a sign-in order to access materials. Printing is available from these machines using the IPFA Service.

 

The Library collaborates with DePaul University Information Services (IS) and various University departments and centers to provide a wide range of software used for teaching and learning purposes.

A list of software available on library lab and classroom computers is available from the IS Software for Lab and PC Classroom Computers page.
