Printer network problems

ISA have informed the Library that there are currently problems with all printers across the University network (including the Library). (15:30, 18th March 2013.) ISA are working to resolve the problem and we will let you know when there is further information.

Printer problems now resolved (15:35, 18th March 2013.)

You can use the FollowMe system to print from your own laptop or home computer

ISA have launched a trial Internet printing service for the FollowMe system.

This will allow you to print from your own laptop or home computer and will operate if you are on campus, in residences or even while working from a café in town!

For more information including installation instructions see:

Staff Student Consultative Committees - an important route for feedback

At this point in term, your Information Specialists are attending Staff Student Consultative Committees for Undergraduate and Taught Postgraduate programmes, to communicate developments in Library & Information Services and to collect feedback from students. 

Developments which the Information Specialists will be raising include:

• A new colour printer in the library, which you will find on the ground floor - the old one has been moved to the 2nd floor, so there are now two available.
• LIS's series of podcasts has been well received so far - subscribe via the Library Website or iTunes and send your feedback.
• New Whiteboard paint has been used on one wall in each group study room on the ground floor, to improve facilities for collaborative work.
• The Library will be opening 24/6 from 4th March to 23rd March.
• DANU students can now renew 1-day loan items online.
• A reminder that books must be returned before the Easter vacation, or renewed over the vacation - if the book is reserved you will be required to return it, perhaps by post.

This is an important communication route for us to hear about both specific problems (such as availability of a core text book) to more general feedback about our services and facilities.
Please talk to your local student representatives if you have any issues you would like to raise at your Staff Student Consultative Committee, or you are always welcome to contact us directly.

Stapling your documents

If you are using University printers and would like to staple your documents, then please refer to the instructions in the Getting Started section of Library Matters on Blackboard.
