Is there wifi access in the Library?

Yes! Wireless access is available in the library for current Carroll students, faculty, and staff using the "Carroll" wifi network. If you have never before connected your laptop to the wireless network, please see ITS' set-up instructions. Carroll also provides guest wireless access using the "Carroll Guest" wifi network. 

Can I access the library databases from home? If so, how?

To access a Carroll library database from home, you must be a currently enrolled student or Carroll employee, as you are required to log-in through our proxy server. Simply click on any library database link found on our Databases A-Z page or on our Research Guides. Type in your Carroll username and password to access.

How do I check my library account?

Your My Library Account lists the items you have checked out from the library and your interlibrary loan requests. You can also use your library account to renew items. Current Carroll students, faculty, and staff should log in with their username (with @carrollu.edu) and their password. 

Do any of the computers at the Library have Word, Excel, or Power Point?

Yes! The computers in the Information Commons and the Classroom have Microsoft Office with Word, Excel and PowerPoint. 

I am having trouble accessing the library databases from home/work. What should I do?

If you are having problems with the databases please call the Library at 262.524.7175. If you are having problems with your Carroll username or password, please contact the ITS Help Desk at 262.524.7229 for assistance.
