Temporary Internet access without a Network ID
To access the Internet without a Network ID at Indiana University Bloomington, you have three options:
- You can request a guest ADS Domain account at several
of the IUB libraries. These guest accounts are available free of
charge; they remain active for 30 days and can be used at all IUB
campus libraries. For more information, call 812-855-4673, or visit:

You may request one of these accounts at the Herman B Wells Library circulation desk, the Education Library, the Chemistry Library, the Life Sciences Library, Swain Hall Library, and the Geography and Map Library. For information about locations and hours, see:

need to print, you may purchase a supplemental printing allotment at
the UITS Support Center walk-in location in the
Information Commons in the Wells Library. A supplemental
allotment provides 100 pages of black and white printing for
$4.
- The guest ADS Domain account does not grant you access to computers in IUB's Student Technology Centers or Residential Technology Centers, or at UITS Infostations, nor does it enable you to connect your laptop to IUB's network via an Ethernet or wireless connection. Those services are reserved for students, faculty, and staff with Network ID accounts.
