UCF Libraries Policies – Patron Conduct

Computer Use as a Guest

1. Obtain the Daily Guest Password from a service desk.
2. Find a Library Public PC and login.
3. When logging in, if the computer says “locked”, or “incorrect password” ask the LibTech Desk for assistance.

IN ORDER TO PRINT OR COPY, GUEST PATRONS NEED TO OBTAIN A COPY CARD

Obtaining a Copy Card

Non-UCF patrons may purchase a Copy Card at the LibTech desk located on the 2^nd floor of the John C. Hitt library, near the fountain entrance.

• The price of a card alone is $1.00 – with no added value for copies.  Additional value must be added to use the card for copying or printing. Copy Card dispensing machines accept $1 bills only.
• NOTE: Patrons are encouraged to keep the value on their Copy Card relatively low because if the card is lost or stolen, the value cannot be added back or refunded onto the card.

• Patrons may add funds via the Knight Cash Machines
• Knight cash machines accept Credit/Debit Cards & Cash
• Patrons may add also funds by visiting knightcash.ucf.edu
