• TALLONS, the Library's online catalog - access is available through dedicated stations on every floor of the Library.
• Public use computers are on the 2nd floor. Patrons engaged in legal and academic research have priority.
• Laptop use - laptops may be used anywhere in the Library. Many carrels and study tables throughout the Library have electrical outlets.
• Wireless access is available throughout the Library. UT Austin affiliated patrons should use the "utexas" wireless network with their UT EID and password.  Patrons not affiliated with the University may connect to the "utguest" wireless network.
• All computer users must adhere to the University's Acceptable Use Policy.

Members of the public may use the computers on the second floor of the Tarlton Law Library on the kiosk behind the reference desk, once they have obtained a UT EID. Follow the steps below to gain computer access:

1. Obtain a UT EID using the EID Help link at the bottom of the TALLONS page on the catalog computers, located on the kiosk behind the reference desk.
2. After obtaining a UT EID, get temporary authorization from Tarlton’s circulation desk staff. Users must present a valid, government-issued photo ID to request temporary access. This authorization is only for use of computers on-site and entitles the user to one login for one hour of continuous computer access per day. (For example, if you log off after 15 minutes of use, that is your one login for the day.)
3. Re-authorize your UT EID every three days at the circulation desk, or the next time you wish to access a computer (if this time period exceeds three days).

Complimentary wireless Internet access is available for members of the public.  Select the "utguest" to connect to the system.

Print software and a funded BevoBucks account are required.  Contact the Tarlton Tech Desk for assistance.
