Computers in the Doe & Moffitt Libraries

Computers with access to library resources and the Internet are available in various locations. UC Berkeley students, faculty, and staff doing research are given priority for use. Information about privileges and responsibilities is available from the UC Berkeley Library Computer Use Policy and the UC Berkeley Computer Use Policy. All computers require a CalNet ID for unrestricted Internet access.

Workstations are equipped for sound. You are encouraged to bring headphones (mini plug type) if you require audio. Moffitt's Circulation Desk has a few sets for local use that may be checked out (students, faculty and staff only). For information on assistive technology in the UCB libraries see Services for Users with Disabilities.
