Wright Library invites Princeton Seminary alumni to request an alum database access account through the IT Help Desk for remote access to a set of e-resources purchased by the library specifically for alumni.

Four stand-up computers and one accessible workstation – all designed for short-term use – are located around the columns in the Concourse area on the First Floor.

You are welcome to use these computers to meet a specific need related to the educational materials and services available in the library.

Windows-based workstations are available for sit-down use on the other floors of the library (Third Floor, Second Floor and Lower Level).

These computers require you to login using your Princeton Seminary network account.

Laptop loans are available to current Princeton Theological Seminary students, faculty and staff.

BrowZine, available both as a free mobile app and on the Web, is for browsing online journals, downloading articles and creating your own bookshelf of favorite titles.

Download the MyLibrary! mobile app and select Princeton Theological Seminary as your library.

A PIN is required in order to log in, and you must set your PIN using a laptop or desktop computer before you can use it in the app.

There are other ways to take advantage of self-service library account features besides downloading this app.

Printing privileges are available to Princeton Seminary students and faculty.* When using the workstations in the library nearest to Library Place (Lower Level, Second Floor, Third Floor), use the Follow_You_Queue printer connected to those those workstations. This adds the printed job to the online queue.

Settings: Color vs. Black & White

Be sure to manage the print release at the copiers, selecting either color or black & white.

Princeton Seminary students and faculty can also swipe their Princeton Seminary ID card and release document(s) at the Canon copiers (open area between the Brick Café and Theron Room and Copy Center near the Circulation Desk).

*Those who do not have one are welcome to use our scanners (which are freely available) and a USB flash drive. Scanned and stored data may be printed at the Princeton Public Library (65 Witherspoon Street).
