Using Computers at the University Library

Computer Use on Site

HU-Members

HU members log in with their HU account at the public computer workstations of the UB locations. Only then can the full range of services (online resources, programmes, drives) be used.

Non-HU Members

Non-HU members must first generate a UB account in order to use the public computer workstations. This requires a one-time change of your password in your Primus user account (pdf-instruction).

WLAN

WLAN is available at all UB locations for HU members. Members of other academic institutions can use the eduroam WLAN if their home institution also supports eduroam.

Please contact the Computer and Media Service for information on WLAN at Humboldt-Universität as well as for setup assistance.

Please also note our various options for using online resources on-site and via remote access.

In case of problems with the Öcaps or with the WLAN, please contact the CMS user support and also follow the CMS malfunction information.

The Berlin Senate offers Free Wifi Berlin in Berlin. This WLAN is also available at the HU Berlin. Further information can be found on the corresponding page of the CMS.
