Saving Work

... Accessing working saved on computers in the library and/or IT Suite can sometimes be difficult to find and access on other computers. .....

Rule of thumb: Always save your work to your network space or a USB 
DO NOT use the save button without having set up the file on your network space. 
DO NOT save to My Documents. 
LRC PCs do not automatically save to your network space.
If you use the Save button without having saved the document on your network space (or USB) your file will be lost. 
If you save your work to My Documents (icon on desktop) your work will be lost.
The LRC PCs are networked which means they behave slightly differently to your home PC always save to your network space.

Are there any plans to add MS Project to the IT Self Help Guides?

This would be useful for the DL courses.

As you may know MSProject isn't part of the portfolio of applications/IT skills that CST currently support through workshops and training materials. However we are planning for the Office 2010 documentation update which should include some more documentation to put on BREO to include MS Project. As the 2010 upgrade didn't happen over the summer that has been temporarily shelved

Noise Park Square LRC

VERY NOISY especially in the pod areas where high noise levels come from people who are socially gathering and not studying or doing group work and often playing music out loud.This is very disruptive.There should besomeone on patrol or someone who could monitor the misuse of these areas.

Thank you for your comments. May I clarify for you:

the Social learning Space (ground floor) is designed for noisy "social" working so customers expect that area to be noisy.

Park Street End, level 1 and the IT Suite are "quiet" areas

Level 2 & 3 are Silent floors. The study environment there is monitored electronically and by security.

May I encourage you to use levels 2 & 3 to study in if you require silence

Thanks
