Don't forget: the European Computer Driving Licence...

...better known as the ECDL, is available to all psychology students through the library. It is a widely recognised basic computing qualification which looks great on CVs when applying for jobs! Even if you are already pretty good with computers, it's important to be able to demonstrate your proficiency and that's exactly what possessing an ECDL certificate can help do. More information, including details on how to sign up, are available on the ECDL web page.

Using your laptop in the library...

...is now easier than ever, with new and improved wi-fi connection instructions available from all help points in the library. Electrical sockets are also available at many of our study spaces so that you can plug in easily. If you come across any difficulties, then feel free to use either of the automatic dial phones in Stratford library which take you straight through to the IT Service Desk.

Accessing the Internet from another university...

...can often be difficult as most universities only allow their own students and staff to log on to their computers and wi-fi network. However, UEL is now a member of EduRoam (‘educational roaming’) which means that if you are visiting another university library, either because it is closer to where you live or because they have a special collection you wish to use, then you should be able to log-in using your UEL username and password.

For further information, including how to take advantage of EduRoam and which universities it works at, check out the UEL EduRoam page.

European Computer Driving Licence (ECDL)...

…is available via the library. We even had a dedicated training room and advisers available at the Docklands Campus Library. It is a widely recognised computer qualification and a valuable addition to your CV in a competitive jobs market. Whether you are a total novice with computers or consider yourself a bit of an expert, the qualification is well worth getting. For more information, check out the library’s ECDL web page.

PC booking service now available at Stratford and Docklands libraries...

...via the MyPC service. For full information, including how to book, see the MyPC service web page. This new service means that you can ensure a PC will be available for you to use in either Stratford or Docklands library by booking it in advance for a session of up to 2 hours. There are dedicated PCs being used for this service and rest assured that all other PCs are still available for use at any time, in case you haven't arranged a bookable PC in advance.
