IT Facilities IT Facilities The computers in the LRC’s should be used mainly for research and college assignments. All PCs have the standard Microsoft Office software installed such as Word, Excel, Publisher and PowerPoint. If you need assistance in the use of any software please ask a member of staff. In addition to the standard office software we also offer support in specialist software such as Dragon Naturally Speaking, Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Premier Video Editing software. Please ask a member of staff for details. All students have a home area on the network which should be used to save work.

The cost of printing A3 is 10p per sheet in Black & White and 50p per sheet in colour. Every time a student prints the cost is automatically deducted from their printer account. Students can top up their print credit at any of the LRC Help desks IT Facilities Passwords At enrolment you will be given a password which is your date of birth - an example would be 16061978 where 16 is the day, 06 is the month and 1978 is the year.

Please do not bring food and drink into the area – however, bottled water is permitted for hydration Respectful Behaviour – please be aware and considerate of the people around you by not disturbing them…… o Keep Mobile phones on silent – any phone calls should be taken or made outside the LRCs o You are free to listen to music, but it should not be audible to anyone else o Keep any conversations at a low level so as not to distract others – the LRCs are places for you to study – social areas are provided elsewhere in College o We will always treat you with dignity and respect and we expect you to treat us in the same manner Please abide by these rules or you will be asked to leave Meet the Team Shona Lavender LRC Manager Philip Eastwood LRC IT Supervisor Katie Ponting LRC Library Supervisor Meet the Team Asif Rashid Jennifer Harris Andy Wright Nadim Malik Sam Bolton-Gould LRC Support Officer Library Information Skills LRC Support Officer Library Information Skills LRC Support Officer Audio Visual Services/Planet eStream LRC Support Officer e-Resources/Moodle Support LRC Support Officer e-Resources/Moodle Support Nick Wareham Iram Shireen Julie Wyant LRC Support Officer Assistive Technologies LRC Support Officer IT Skills LRC Support Officer IT Skills Linda Brown Shirley Naylor LRC Support Officer IT Skills LRC Support Officer IT Skills Library Quiz Question 1 How many items can you borrow from the LRC? 5 8 9 Library Quiz Question 2 How many LRCS are there at Calderdale College? 1 3 2 Library Quiz Question 3 The LRCs are open in the holidays?
