The Library Computer Lab - Lower Level may also be scheduled for instruction when it is a more convenient space, or if the LIITS Computer Lab is not available. When the Labs are not scheduled for instruction or training, they are available for walk-in use by UNK students, faculty and staff. We reserve the right to ask users for their current UNK identification card.
For reference assistance (e.g., research, information needs, or questions regarding library resources), students should inquire at the Reference Desk (1st floor, Library). The Librarians may not be able to provide support for technical computer questions (i.e., word processing, hardware or software questions, spreadsheets, etc.).
