Wireless Laptops

The OSU Student Tech Fee Committee purchased a large number of laptops and printers for use by OSU-Stillwater students. These laptops are equipped with the same software as Student Tech Fee computer labs, e.g. word processing, Microsoft PowerPoint®, and access to personal H: drive. Special Bluetooth, infrared, and USB printers are available on each floor of the Library. More information about the laptops may be found at www.library.okstate.edu/access/laptops/index.htm.
