Wireless Printing

SF affiliates (students, faculty, and staff) may print from a wireless device, provided they are on the SFCollege access point (printing will not work from the SFGuest access point). Visit the Mobile Printing page to learn how to properly set up wireless printing.

Scanners

The Library has two scanning stations that will allow you to scan documents in readable PDF format and save them to your flash drive, Google Docs, or email them to yourself. The scanners are located by the printer/copier on the second floor. There is no cost to this service.

Video Viewing

There are video viewing stations on the 2nd floor. Headphones are available to borrow from the Circulation Desk or Reference Desk if needed, or you may provide their own.

External DVD or Blu-Ray drive are available to borrow to use on your own computers or library computers. These drives are available at the first floor Circulation Desk.

Headphones

Headphones are available at the first floor Circulation Desk and second floor Reference Desk. The Reference Desk also has noise-cancelling headphones that you may borrow to use within the Library with your SFID card. You may also use personal headphones in the computers.

Assistive Technologies

The Library has two specialized computers with adaptive software available on the first and second floors. These computers are on an adjustable table, along with large-print keyboards and a trackball mouse (first floor) or joystick mouse (second floor).
