Computing & IT Facilities

The Computing & IT facilities can be used only by registered CITY College students and staff and for the purpose research, learning and education.

Furthermore, the academic departments provide additional facilities for their students, including computers in dedicated laboratories and subject-specific software. All computers are connected to the campus network, which is maintained by Computing Support Staff and provides access to the available software, services, and to the internet.

Once you have obtained your personal credentials you can log on to any computer in the ILC and access the internet, your email, and the library’s online catalogue and electronic resources.

Alumni, external members and day visitors use a “public_user” account, supplied by the Library Services Desk each time they visit the ILC.
