• COMPUTER ASSISTANCE: The Computer Center Staff offers assistance with logging onto a computer, locating programs, and solving technical difficulties, but cannot provide in-depth individual instruction. To help you, LCLS offers various computer classes and houses reference manuals for many programs; just ask us for details. Also, many programs have “help” options to guide you through the troubleshooting process independently.
• SAVING YOUR WORK: When creating your own documents, save your work often; our computers automatically remove all work when the computer reboots at the end of a session. Save your documents onto your own thumb drive or CD before the computer reboots at the end of your session.
• TIME: You receive a 30-minute session, and you are welcome to sign up again for additional sessions. If you are working on a task that cannot be saved and requires additional time (online tests, job applications or downloading major files), the Computer Center Staff may be able to extend your time. You get automatic 30-minute increases when no reservations are pending.
• PRINTING: Printing is $.10 per page; and color printing costs $1.00 per page.
• CONVERSATIONS & PHONE CALLS: Please limit conversations and noise while in the Computer Center, and use language appropriate to all listeners when you talk.
