eduroam (education roaming) is a federated service that allows roaming research and educational users to more easily obtain Internet access via the WiFi service at participating sites. When attaching to eduroam WiFi, users are authenticated via their home institution. If authentication succeeds the user is granted wireless network access.

Further information on eduroam is available from the national eduroam site for Ireland, which identifies eduroam hotspots in Ireland, and from the central eduroam service website, which identifies eduroam hotspots worldwide.

Dublin City Libraries is a participating service provider, and the following are details of eduroam WiFi offered at the Dublin City Library & Archive (Pearse Street), Ballyfermot Library, the Central Library (Ilac Centre), Coolock Library and Kevin Street Library.
