Internet and Wireless:

MSU Libraries Resources:
How do I print from MSU Libraries resources?
When printing from MSU Libraries resources, always check to see if there is a window open inside your browser that also has a print icon. If there is a print icon there, use that icon rather than the browser's print function. Using the browser's print function will not get the text but the outside frame instead. Visit the Printing & Plotting page for more information about printing in the MSU Libraries.
Why can't I get to library resources using my laptop in the Library?
The Off Campus Access page provides information about EZProxy for wireless network users.
