Can I print from my wireless laptop in the Samuel J. Wood Library?
Personal wireless laptop printing is available with very limited functions through “Web Print” via PaperCut. Once you log in, click Web Print on the bottom left, follow the on-screen instructions, and select “Library - first floor” as the printer. Please be advised that color and single-sided printing are not available via Web Print. If you need to print in the Library, we highly recommend you use a desktop computer or visit the SMARTDesk to check out a Library laptop in order to access the full range of printing options.
How do I connect to the Internet with my personal laptop?
Weill Cornell Medicine's wireless network service provides laptop and mobile users with fast and secure access to email and web-based services. It is available in most campus buildings, listed as "WCMC". In order to access the WCMC Secure Network, users will first need to have their laptops “tagged” by ITS. If you are an employee and need to tag your laptop or tablet, your Department Administrator will need to submit a “computer connection request” here which should include a fund number. You will also need to make an appointment with ITS here.
Students enrolled in WCM degree programs can access most Library resources using the Apollo network. Certain resources managed by Cornell University Library may not be accessible on Apollo. The instructions on self-registering devices to the free Apollo network are available on the ITS website. Device registration into the Apollo network expires after one year and must be renewed annually.
Students enrolled in WCM degree programs who are on-campus and need to tag their personal devices (up to 5 devices) must submit a “Student Connection Request” through myHelpdesk. Tagging a personal device is not required or recommended. However, those who require access to the secure “WCMC” wireless network, WCM resources such as fileshare or specific research related servers will need to tag their personal device. Make a SMARTDesk appointment prior to going to the SMARTDesk.
ITS has implemented eduroam, a new wireless service for visitors of the Weill Cornell campus. Users who have eduroam at their home institution can access wireless internet at Weill Cornell with their own credentials. WCM users can access wireless at any institution that participates in eduroam. Click here for instructions on how to connect to eduroam.
A guest network is also available to visitors on campus who do not have access to eduroam wireless.
Please direct all wireless access inquiries to ITS at (212) 746-4878 or support@med.cornell.edu. For additional information, please visit ITS Wireless Networks.
