About Mobile Information Outlet Connection Service

Mobile Information Outlet Connection Service lets you temporarily connect a notebook PC or other terminal to the university network (MIND) by plugging in to one of the mobile information outlets located on each campus.
By taking advantage of this connection service, you can use your own PC to access a WWW server and view websites, to send and receive e-mail, to use online library services, or to make use of other basic services as well as the services provided by the university libraries and others.
