New Computers in the Library

All computers in the Library have been replaced. We now have two different types:

The first 3 terminals inside the Library on the left are designed to provide quick access to library resources. You can access OLIS, Oxford electronic resources and the internet (so you can check your email on them as long as other people aren't waiting). You can save items to a USB memory stick, but you will not be able to open items already on your stick

The other 4 terminals are 'proper' PCs and in addition to accessing library resources and the internet as above, you can also use Microsoft Office applications such as Word, Excel, Access and Powerpoint. They have both USB ports and CD/DVD drives.
