HSL Acess Notes - July 31st


A few notes for the end of the month….

 

 

Summer Scheduling

With staff enjoying well-deserved vacation time over these summer months, our service desk schedule is far from usual!  We are single staffing more often at the desk and staff may be asked to offer back up assistance at times.  Many thanks to all who have been so willing to offer this extra coverage at the desk.  The desk schedule should be up to date and staff are encouraged to check this daily in SharePoint.  Thanks so much.

 

 

Zendesk

It is nice to know that any IT related issues with our library computers can all be directed through our LCR IT zendesk email : itshelp@lcrit.zendesk.com

 

 

 Exchange Upgrade

 

·         Login at your desktop:  No need to worry about typing in any domain prefixes.  Just login with your login name and password!

·         Login at service desk station #3:  The first time you login to this station (just use login name and password), the system will go through the upgrade process.  You should  see the computer updating , with status bars showing on your desktop screen.  Please allow the system to work through the upgrades – it could take some time (up to 40 minutes or so but likely much less).  This includes student assistants logging into this station.

·         Login to webmail at:  mail.ucalgary.ca  or…

·         Login to webmail through MyUofC:  When the “please select your mailbox type” window appears, use the drop down menu and select New Exchange Environment (for migrated users only).  You may need to authenticate once again, but then you will be in the updated webmail version that has some much improved functionality.

·         Calendar Overlays:  Under the overlay the calendars heading, it outlines how to do this. (Unfortunately it only works on the desktop version of Outlook)


·         Shared calendars are now available in webmail.  This means that when logged in at Station #3 at the service desk, Computer commons availability can be checked and space booked!  

·         SharePoint:  Have you checked you SharePoint login?

 



 

 

Moneris Upgrade

I have just heard that a Moneris upgrade may be coming soon.  More details to come.

 

Memo from Distribution Services

In an ongoing effort to provide accurate mail delivery throughout campus and to prevent delays, Distribution Services would like to remind each Department that all internal mail requires the following information on the envelope:

·         Name

·         Department

·         Building and Room Number

·         It is the sender’s responsibility to address internal mail correctly to prevent delays.

 

Clocks

 The clock in the public service area is losing time and has been reported.

 

I will be away tomorrow, but wish all a lovely holiday weekend.

See you on Tuesday!

Mary
