- Q
- It's annoying having to enter my password each time I use a terminal inside the Library.
- A
- When using a terminal within the Library to apply to read materials from the closed stacks or to apply for print-outs, you will be asked for password authentication each time in order to verify the identity of the person making the request. We apologize for any inconvenience, and we thank you for your understanding.
