To relieve congestion and improve access, the public access computers located directly in back of the Reference Desk on the Second Floor of the Ralph Brown Draughon Library, have been rearranged. One cluster of five computers is now located on tall tables without chairs and is intended for short-term use. The other cluster, of six computers, continues to be located on low tables with chairs, and is intended for those patrons needing longer periods of use.
These public access computers, intended primarily for the general public and other non-Auburn University patrons, are located under the green signs saying “Public Terminals. Internet Only.”
