Using eduroam

eduroam connects students, researchers and staff from participating institutions to the Internet. It's available onsite at your home institution or on your laptop or mobile device when visiting other participating institutions.

If you are visiting from another organisation that uses eduroam, you will be able to use it onsite at the National Library of Scotland too. eduroam is available in all public spaces within each of the Library's buildings.

Library staff can also connect to eduroam in most work spaces across the Library's buildings.

You are required to remove the eduroam profile from your device when your association with our organisation ends.

If you are visiting from another institution, you will need your username and password from your home institution. Get in touch with them if you're not sure what they are.
