Printing and WiFi...
Printing is done in various places around Campus and is an online service, but first you will need to put money into your account either by payment at the library or on the LSU website. Once you've sent a document to print, you can print from any printer, remember your ID card to log onto the printer and any University Computer is connected to the printers.

WiFi is connectable after setting up, launch Eduroam Setup, enter your details then connect to the WiFi, same for laptops.
Course specific software is available to download from IT services in the Library
