Using KI's computers and software
Computers that can be used by KI students and employees are located in the library and in the computer rooms. There is also software made available by KI, either through the computers or by downloading. On this page, you'll find information about the software that you can use as a KI student, in instances where Student IT manages the licenses. On the page Digital tools and services for students you'll find information about all the services provided by KI. If you are an employee (including doctoral students) you'll find all the information you need on the page IT and telephony.
Go directly to
By logging in to the computers, you sign the Agreement for the utilization of IT resources.
Some computers can be used by all visitors. Look for the sign at the computer that indicates this, or ask the staff and they will show you. All other computers are only for KI affiliated.
As a KI student, you use your student account to log in (that is, the same login credentials that you use to access for example Canvas), and as an employee, you use your KI login to log in. As an external visitor, you use the details you receive when you obtain a library account from the library.
Your home catalogue
As a student at KI you can access your documents saved in the catalogue connected to your student login from home or the wireless network. The home catalogue can be found on H:, click on the icon on the desktop containing your user name. We recommend that you work with your documents through your home catalogue since we do daily backups and can secure that nothing is lost.
If you have saved a document on a USB stick or your e-mail, you need to make sure to save a copy to your home catalogue and work with the document from that location.
