How to Connect to WiFi?

As of July 2017 the Main Library has deployed additional wi-fi hotspots courtesy of the UP Diliman Network Helpdesk (DilNet).

  • DILNET-WIFI – DilNet account login required, research access point (can access electronic databases)
  • WiFi@UPD – open access point (no access to electronic databases)

To connect to the library wi-fi, just select them from the list of wireless networks and follow the instructions that appear on your browser.
