UM Wireless Network Available in Shapiro and Hatcher Libraries
- Wireless computing is available in the Shapiro and Hatcher libraries
to anyone with a valid UM Uniqname and password, and with the necessary
equipment. The UM Wireless Network is a local area network (LAN) available to U-M staff, faculty, and
students. It is a partnership among the University Library; Michigan Unions; Campus Computing Sites; Information
Technology Communications (ITCom), and other Information Technology Central Services (ITCS) units.

and a recent web browser.

How to use UM Wireless at the Library:

and turn on your computer
- Set your wireless configuration (network name/SSID) to UM Wireless
Network with no WEP encryption
- Launch a web browser (Macintosh users DO NOT attempt to authenticate with Internet Explorer, your connection will
not be secure, your password will not be encrypted)

- You are now connected and can use your network applications
