Online Catalog and Reference Desk Area

MnPALS (Online Catalog) Terminals

The Library's Online Catalog is MnPALS . Please consult a Reference Librarian for MnPALS assistance. The 16 computer terminals on the 1st floor of the library, in the Reference area, are designated primarily for MnPALS searching. Printing requests from these terminals may be picked up at the Periodicals/Government Documents Desk. You may also use these terminals for Internet searching and browsing. No chat-rooms are allowed. These computers are not equipped with disk drives and also do not contain any word-processing or specialized software. If you would like to do more than use MnPALS or the Internet (such as word processing, designing web sites), please check availability of the LIT Center. You may also wish to consult our Library Internet and Computer Use Policy.
