Our services: Getting started with the Library: Print, photocopy and IT support

Print, photocopy and IT support

We know that printing and IT access is a top priority for many of our students, so we've put together a brief overview of the IT and equipment we have available at Bill Bryson Library below.

For more information, visit our IT and Equipment pages on our website, or head over to the CIS SharePoint site, My Digital Durham.

Library PCs

There are a mixture of bookable and non-bookable PCs available for use on all floors of the Library.

  • Bookable PCs are available in our separate PC Rooms, individual study rooms and Disability Support rooms
  • Non-bookable PCs are in our open study areas.
     

Docking stations

Docking stations allow you to connect your laptop to an external screen, keyboard and mouse. This allows you to access all the software and files you have saved on your laptop, making use of two screens while you work and helping you to sit in a more comfortable position.

We have docking stations available in the Library at selected workspaces in the following areas:

  • Silent zone on Level 1 (bookable)
  • East Wing of Level 2 (non-bookable)
  • PC Room on Level 3 (bookable)

Find out more about setting up and using a docking station by visiting My Digital Durham SharePoint site. 

To book a space with a PC or docking station, visit our Space Bookings system.

Print, scan and photocopy

We have multi-function devices (MFDs) and scanners available throughout Bill Bryson Library for you to print, scan and photocopy. 

The CIS SharePoint site, My Digital Durham has lots of useful information to help you:

Watch our videos below to find out more about printing and how to scan and copy at the Library.

Borrowing a laptop

You can borrow a laptop to use in Bill Bryson Library from the self-service laptop locker on Level 2.

  • Laptops are available on a first-come, first-served basis
  • They can be borrowed for up to 12 hours to use in the Library
  • Charging cables and separate computer mice are available to borrow from the Help and Information Desk.

Instructions on how to borrow a laptop are displayed next to the laptop locker, or you can watch the video below.

IT Service Desk - CIS support

The IT Service Desk within Bill Bryson Library is managed by CIS staff and is here to support you with IT services during your time at Durham.

You can book an appointment to visit the service desk if you need to see someone face-to-face. Alternatively, you can use their online IT self-service portal or Live Chat service to make requests, report a problem or get help and advice.
