Visitor Information

The University Libraries welcomes visitors and researchers. Any person may visit the libraries and use materials, databases, and resources on-site. The computers in the libraries are used primarily for the research needs of the FSU faculty, students, and staff; therefore, FSU does not provide computers for internet browsing to the public.
