Networked PCs and applications
We provide a large number of PCs for use by all registered LJMU computer users. Connected to the university network, and running Windows XP, all offer access to the Microsoft Office 2007 suite of applications, together with over 500 subject specific software packages, plus a fast internet connection. Most PCs have readily accessible USB sockets into which you can plug memory sticks; selected machines offer CD/DVD writing facilities.
University email account
When your computing account is activated, you automatically get an LJMU email address which will allow you to send and receive information both within and outside of the University. The University will use your LJMU email account to contact you throughout your time at LJMU and you are expected to check it on a regular basis.
Please note: We do not send official communications or forward messages on to 3rd party email accounts such as Hotmail.
Personal Filestore (M Drive)
The Personal Filestore facility, also called the M Drive, is a secure area on the network to which you can save your work. It is available from any networked PC and off campus, all files are regularly backed up, and the University strongly recommends that you save work to your Personal File Store (M Drive).
The LJMU website
The University has its own web site, available at
www.ljmu.ac.uk/student/ and each School/Department has its own area on the site. This website is LJMU’s main communications platform for information, news, reference documents, etc.
Please note: some web pages on the site are restricted to members of the University, and you may be asked to enter your username and password to view them. If you are off campus, you need to type users\ before your username in the login box.
Network printing, copying and scanning
Every networked PC has access to self-service networked black and white or colour laser printers located within the LRCs, and most computing centres. Printouts are obtained using a “tap and print” method – send your job to print, then, when you’re ready, simply tap your University id card on the printer card reader and choose the jobs to print. The cost of each page printed is then automatically deducted from your virtual purse account. Please note: You must have sufficient funds in your virtual purse in order to print.
Further information is available from the Printing, Copying and Scanning section of the help with computers website at
www.ljmu.ac.uk/cis/printing/
Alternatively contact the Student Zone in your nearest Learning Resource Centre for further advice.
