Just a little word about the new computer system in operation on the upper floor (level 3) of the library at Booth Lane.
It is a system which is in place to help all students and once everyone is used to it, I think everyone will see the benefits.
How it works:
1. You log with your username & password. Put these in the grey box which appears on the white library page. If you do not see the white library page, DO NOT log-in. Wait and it will appear. If it seems to be taking too long, come and see a member of staff. Don't be tempted to click on any other boxes you see.
2. When you have finished DO NOT log-off or shut down the PC. Make sure you use the grey box in the left-hand corner of the screen to 'End Session'. This is all you need to do.
2. You will have a maximum of 2 hours to work at the PC before you need to take a 1 hour break. The system will inform you of the amount of time you have left. You have 6 hours per day, per student.
3. Once you log off you will need to take your hours break, even if you were only on for 15 minutes.
Why it is good for students:
1. It will increase the fairness in the allocation of PC's.
2. It will help students to organise their day and workload more efficiently.
3. The dreaded health and safety- but it does matter. It is not good for you to sit in front of a computer all day. You need refreshment and air for your work to be the best!!
Ask us any questions you have. See you in the Library.
