January 21, 2005 -- Beginning on Monday, Jan. 24, patrons visiting Alderman library will need to log in before using the public computer terminals. This is part of the overall effort, led by ITC, to ensure that the University's computing network remains stable and secure.

U.Va. faculty, students and staff using the Alderman public terminals will need an "Eservices" password, which they can get by activating their Eservices accounts (see https://www.web.virginia.edu/pswd/). Visiting scholars and guests from the local community will be able to get a guest password from the Alderman service desk.

Logging in has been required since 2004 in ITC's computer labs and electronic classrooms. It will be implemented in the main libraries over a period of weeks, beginning with Alderman on Monday. The full implementation schedule is still being developed, but in the meantime details of the project and an FAQ can be found on the University Library's web site: http://www.lib.virginia.edu/logininfo.html.
