Bounds Green Learning Resources offers a combination of laser, deskjet and dot-matrix printers for colour or black and white printing. The laser printers for student use are located in the print room adjacent to Computer Reception. Output from the DEC line-printers is distributed in the pigeon holes outside the reception area. Colour scanners with OCR software are located in the Library and printer room. At peak periods a booking system is used to ensure fair access.
Students can book a machine in any of the open access rooms for a period of up to two hours.
The booking system terminal is located in the Reception foyer on level 2. Bookings can be made up to two weeks in advance, and a confirmation slip is provided. Students log in to the network using their own accounts which give them access to the PCs, the Alpha Cluster and UNIX systems. PC software is menu-driven and includes Microsoft Windows and many packages running under Windows. To help you use the facilities offered here and across the University a range of documentation is available from the Computer Helpdesk.
