Help is a Click Away: Tech, Wifi, and Printing

There are 3 printers in the library, one on each floor. The third floor has libraryP2, the second floor has libraryP1, and the first floor, or basement, has libraryP3.

Students use their Lyon College ID and password to login to the library's computers, then print by direct mapping, or by "Papercut."  The printers can scan documents into a PDF format and email them to student's email accounts or simply print paper copy.

Guests at the library can get a guest number at the front desk and pay 10 cents per sheet for use.

Here's a great video on how to print from web sites and quickly edit the garbage out of them so paper is saved.

If you're unable to connect, use these steps to troubleshoot:

• Double-check that the wireless card is enabled.
• Make sure you connect to MyResNet, and not some other network.
• If the webpage doesn't load, check your DNS settings; they should be set to "Obtain DNS server address automatically".

Follow these easy steps to connect and log in.

• If you are a student, choose: MyResNet  Be sure you have created an account and registered all your devices with MyResNet.
• If you are a visitor, choose guest and simply enter your email address. You cannot access the library's databases as a guest!
• If you are faculty or staff, choose Lyon FS or (Lyon Domain Wireless)
• After it is connected, open your favorite internet browser. You will be redirected to a login page.
• If prompted, use your Lyon College username and password to login.

The library has personal computers scattered about the library for student and guest use.  The study rooms also have computers in them and can be used on a "first come, first served" basis .

How Do I Login?

When off-campus, if you are a Lyon College student, faculty, or staff member, you can use your Lyon user ID (first.last@lyon.edu) and your password to login when an authentication screen pops up during your use of a library database or other online service. You only have to do this once a session.

Community members who have purchased a card can use the databases in the library building but not remotely.

Having issues logging in?  Clear your cache (CTRL + SHIFT + DEL) and try again.

If you have problems accessing the databases please call Lyon support at: 870-307-7555 or contact support@lyon.edu.
