Library Computers

All library computer users are expected to adhere to Computer Use Policies.

Patrons are required to save their work on an external media device (e.g. USB flash drive) or Cloud Storage (e.g. tufts.box.com) because all documents and settings are deleted upon restart.

Library Computers are equipped with software that supports the curricula of the Health Sciences Campus.

Printing is available from these computers on the 4th and 5th floors of the Library.

To report problems with library computers, please notify the 5th floor Tufts Technology Services Walk-Up Desk or use the Report a Problem form.

Hirsh Health Sciences Library offers the following for library patrons to borrow:

• Apple MacBook Pros
• PC laptops

To borrow a laptop, see the borrowing library materials page.

Hirsh Health Sciences Library offers 34 public computers, which are available on the 4th and 5th floors of the Medical Education Building.

Users are expected to adhere to Computer Lab Policies.
