Butterfield PCs & WiFi

Please we need more computers at Butterfield. The laptops are no good and poor library staff waste time trying to connect students to the internet.

I am sorry that you have been experiencing problems with the PCs and laptops at Butterfield. As you know there is very limited space at Butterfield. Over the summer all the PCs in Learning Resources were replaced with Intel i5 PCs. The Learning Resources team also managed to squeeze in 4 more PCs taking the total to 16 at Butterfield.

I do understand than 16 PCs is not adequate especially when the LRC is full. The laptops were all replaced at the end of the last academic year. The University has a cross Campus project to improve the WiFi connectivity at every Campus. Work was completed at Butterfield on 16.10.13. As you have had problems with WiFi since then I have reported this to the University's ICT team and they will look into it for you. I hope we can resolve this problem for you and the other students at Butterfield as quickly as possible.
