Introduction
We have a number of computer stations available for your research with access to specialized software. Guests wishing to use/access computer workstations in the library will need to request a guest login. A guest is any visitor who is not a current Queen’s university student, faculty member, or staff member. Alumni and holders of community borrower cards are also considered guests for the purpose of using/accessing computer workstations in the library. As the library’s computer workstations provide access to licensed e-resources and to the Internet, the identity of those using/accessing computer workstations in the library needs to be recoverable if necessary.

Library Guest Account
Library computers require you to log in with your Queen’s NetID.
If you are a guest visiting Queen’s, guest logins can be obtained from the Information Services desk at any Queen’s University Library location. In order to obtain a guest login, a guest must provide a phone number and present a valid (not expired) piece of government-issued photo ID, such as a driver’s license. A temporary guest login account will then be created by library staff which can be used by the guest to use/access computer workstations in the library until the end of the day on which the temporary guest login account was created.
