Access to student Novell drive files (P: drive files)
Announcement from ITSS, made August 11, 2016:
Changes to Classroom Computer Access
As the roll-out of "Active Directory" continues across campus, the classroom computers will now have a different look when signing in. However, the newly configured classroom PCs are still accessed with your current UPEI credentials.
While we configure the drive mappings in our new Active Directory service, users will not have access to their network drive mappings (H:/drive for example) on the Academic Network which were previously provided through Novell. We apologize for this inconvenience; however, it will only be temporary.
During this time, users can access files on their Novell drives by visiting the NetStorage website:
Alternatively, users may wish to use Google Drive, email or a USB thumb drive to access their presentation files.
Please contact the ITSS Helpdesk at helpdesk@upei.ca or 902-566-0465 if you have any questions.
Corners, Taping, and Mudding!
The renovations are continuing during the “dog days of summer”.
Happy Weekend!
“The “dog days,” I always thought, were those summer days so devastatingly hot that even dogs would lie around on the asphalt, panting. . . - but originally, the phrase actually had nothing to do with dogs, or even with the lazy days of summer. Instead, it turns out, the dog days refer to the dog star, Sirius, and its position in the heavens.” (National geographic)

Wiring is underway
Work is progressing on the wiring today.
It will be all squared away by the new term.
We have a "plan" . . .
“A drawing, sketch, or diagram of any object made by projection on a horizontal plane; esp. one showing the layout of a building or one floor of a building.”

Noise in the library . . . looking for a quiet place to work or study?
The contractors are working as quietly as possible and with the least possible interference to library patrons; however, a certain amount of disruption is inevitable.
There are a number of quiet places to work or study on the upper level.
- Computers can be found in the reading room (308), computer lab (312), and behind the “D’s”
- an assortment study carrels, study tables, and comfortable sofas and chairs are available in the reading room (308) and quiet study room (340)
