Check online for PC availablilty

·          Students can now find out where there are available PCs to use in open access PC suites across campus by checking our new webpage found here:  http://www.salford.ac.uk/library/using/pcavailability.   
        The webpage gives the location of PCs, how many PCs are in the room and of those how many are already in use.  You can find out more about the new service here: http://students.salford.ac.uk/news/?id=1920.

Please note: The system shows PCs available at the time of viewing and this information is updated every 60 seconds.  However, it cannot guarantee a PC will be available by the time you arrive at the PC location.
