Booking
Book a computer up to a week ahead for a slot of up to 90 minutes. You can extended the booking at the end of your session if the computer has not been booked by another user. You can also book a Mac or laptop if your library has them. Visit the library desk or call us to make a booking. You must log in before 10 minutes after the start time of the booking or the booking will disappear from the system. Let us know if you are going to be late and need to change the start time.
Drop-in
Drop-in to use any computers that are available. If all the computers are being used, do talk to the library staff. They can put a booking on the system so that you get the next one that is available.
After logging on you will be allocated 60 or 90 minutes (dependent on your campus) which you can extend, unless there is a future booking.
Warning messages will appear on screen 10, 5 and 3 minutes before your time runs out. Make sure to extend your time and save your work before the 3 minute warning - by then the computer is already logging you off. If you don't get the option to self-extend your time on the computer, ask at the library desk before your time runs out.
The computers shut down automatically 10 minutes before library closing time.
Remember to save your work as you go, any unsaved work will be lost.
