Sign-Up
The Spidell Technology Center utilizes an automated computer reservation system (Sign-Up) that assigns computers to users as workstations become available. Students must use a Sign-Up station before using a computer. Authorized CSULB users have a four hour time restriction when others are waiting. Sign-Up Express computers have a 15 minute time restriction, and are available to authorized CSULB users on a walk-up basis.
Non-CSULB "Guest" users in the Spidell Technology Center must first register at the Circulation Desk before using the Sign-Up system. Guest users are allowed a single login per day, with a maximum use time of 90 consecutive minutes. Priority for computers will be given to authorized CSULB students.
