Welcome to the Library Computer Labs:

There are two computer labs in the MJC Library.

The Library Research lab is located by the Reference/Research Help Desk near our South entrance. Because of its location, librarians are close by to help you with your research. In addition, librarians conduct Library Research Instruction sessions and teach classes in this lab, so it is closed periodically.

The other, larger lab is located across from the Course Reserves Desk near our North entrance. This is a full-functioning, open computer lab, which means that the lab is open to all students and has a wide array of application software. This lab contains PCs and MACs, and is staffed by a Lab Supervisor and student lab aides. Their telephone number is 209-575-6238.

Lab Rules:

• The computers are for MJC students and may only be used for educational purposes. Staff may ask you to leave if you are playing games, shopping, or viewing pornography.
• Because these computers are property of the Yosemite Community College District, students are not allowed to install, delete, or change any programs. If you need any specific programs, please ask the Lab Supervisor for help.
• Because of the sensitive nature of the computer lab and because of safety and insurance reasons, no children and no food or drinks are allowed in the lab. Staff may ask you to leave if you are breaking any of these rules.
• Out of courtesy to others, please use headphones if you are viewing Web sites or using software that uses music or other sounds.You can check out headphones from the Course Reserves desk in the library.
• Before you enter the lab, please sign in on the log in computer using your MJC ID number. Once you enter your ID number a list of your classes will appear. From that list, select the class for which you are using the lab by using the keyboard or the mouse. When you leave the lab, please log out.
• Lab aides are here to help you with technical issues but may not help you with the content of your homework.

All MJC Library computers offer full Internet access to be used for educational purposes. In addition, you can access the Internet from your own wireless laptop.

Troubleshooting Wireless Access:

If you see a choice of terminate or connect after entering the password, select connect, then enter the name and password again. Repeat as needed.
