There are 8 PCs on the UCL network running central managed Windows desktops. UCL/ICH students and staff can access Cluster WTS (Windows Terminal Server) from these computers. These are available for use by all UCL users with a UCL username and password.

The UCL networked computers are connected to one of two printers located in the cluster. UCL printing charge applies. For more information on printing please see the following webpage: http://www.ucl.ac.uk/isd/students/workrooms/printing

PCs for accessing UCL ejournals and databases

There are 4 dedicated computers in the library which give GOSH staff and other library members access to the UCL electronic journals and databases. Library users will need a library barcode and a 4 digits PIN number to log in to these machines.
