In response to user requests to increase availability of our student access PCs, the Library has implemented a PC Booking application across all of our Campus Libraries. This application controls PC session lengths and gives opportunity to book a PC in advance. For your convenience, walk-up 30 Minute Express PCs and 10 Minute Printing PCs will be available for quick tasks, along with book-able 2 Hour Use PCs for more extensive work. This service is now available off-campus as well, meaning you can pre-book yourself a PC before you even come to the University. Many smart-phones will also support this feature. We are proud and excited about this addition in delivering you even better service at VU.

• How to make a booking
• Find PCs' Location (Floor Maps)
• Log in using your Active Directory (AD) Username and Password. See our Logins page for more information

To promote fair use of the Library PCs, the following rules do apply when booking a computer in advance:

• Bookings can be made up to 7 days in advance.
• Users are limited to 3 outstanding bookings at one time
• Please turn up to your booking on time! Your booking will automatically be cancelled if you do not turn up within 10 minutes of the booking start time
• You cannot book a PC on behalf of another person

Using a PC at the Campus Libraries will remain much the same as it always has, but there are a few new things to be aware of:

• You can walk up to any PC and use it immediately without booking provided the computer hasn't been booked for someone else. PCs that have been booked for a particular user will say "Reserved for s3234567" on the screen
• Log into the PC by pressing ctrl+alt+delete on the keyboard and type in your Active Directory (AD) Username and Password
• You will receive a warning messages at 10, 5 and 3 minutes before your session ends. The PC will automatically log you off and reboot at the session end
• If you leave your computer unattended for 15 minutes during a session, the PC will automatically log you off and reboot

PLEASE ENSURE YOU SAVE YOUR WORK TO AN EXTERNAL DEVICE AT REGULAR INTERVALS DURING YOUR SESSION. ALL DOCUMENTS WILL BE DELETED FROM THE PC EVERY TIME IT REBOOTS
