What your Local IT Help Desk can do for you
At each main campus, there is an IT Help Desk. The staff at these desks can help with a variety of computer related problems. These include :-

  • Advice on Password resets (see Q&As)
    You can also reset your password on any library open access PC by clicking on the "Forgot My Password" button at the login screen.
  • Wireless access problems
  • Printing issues
  • Software difficulties
  • File conversions ie: from Microsoft Works or OpenOffice to Microsoft Word
  • Recovery of corrupt data

Our staff will try to resolve issues as quickly as possible, however there may be instances when they need to refer the problem to support colleagues.

Please note
Although our staff are knowledgeable on a variety of IT aspects, this does not allow for any specialised software such as SPSS or 3D gaming software. Please contact your lecturer or Faculty.

Additionally although we can recommend software and hardware for your laptop, our staff are not authorised or insured to install these onto your personal laptop.
Please therefore do not be disappointed if you are advised to take your equipment to a professional computer shop. The University is unable to recommend shops.

Your Comfort
The University Library aims to make the open-access computer areas pleasant places in which to work. However, if you are offended by anything you see or hear please report the matter to any member of the library staff or the IT Help Desk
