Within a cooperation project of the SUB and studIT (part of the department IT of the university of Göttingen) new computers were purchased, which will be installed at the locations of the former so-called “Web-OPAC-computers”. Therefore, the operation of the devices changes. which now features a markedly additional value.

Students can use the computers with all of their functions (Internet without restriction, printing, Office programmes, E-Mail Client, personal home register). They have to log in by usage of the input screen with their Studierenden-Account after the computer has booted up. Students of the university of Goettingen get the account, consisting of userid and password, at the start of course together with their Studienausweis since 2008. Students can pick up the account - if not existing - at studIT-Beratungsstandorten (e.g. Chipkartenstelle). Student user have to log out after the use of the computer to avoid abuse of their account.
