Access to computers and electronic resources of the Robert W. Woodruff Library is provided on a priority basis to students, faculty, and staff of the Atlanta University Center (AUC) community for scholarly research and instruction. AUC users need remote access accounts to access computer workstations. Visitors, not associated with the AUC, may use resources if such use is non-commercial in nature and does not interrupt the work of AUC affiliated users. There are two workstations for visitors' use. Visitors may sign up for access at the Circulation Services Desk.
