Tallman hijacks Writer-in-residence gig at DKIT

Hello all,

Ferdia Mac Anna here.

I am the newly appointed writer-in-residence at DKIT.

I am tall with invisible hair and peculiar outlook on Life.

Also, I believe that writing is a wonderful and creative and important endeavor and I am keen to encourage writers as well as beginning writers and indeed any kind of writer, to express themselves as much as possible whenever possible.

I write a Blog which you can visit by clicking here http://ferdiamacanna.blogspot.ie/

Happy Christmas
Ferdia

At busy times ...

As you will probably be only too aware, it’s assignment time and the Library is very busy at the moment. There are some things you can do to ease the pressure on yourself if you are finding it difficult to get a computer or a place to study:

1. The Training Room will be open at busy times if it is not otherwise in use. Just walk in and log on to a computer. 
2. Book a computer on the library catalogue page. Then collect your booking confirmation at the library desk. Remember, computers can only be booked for one hour, at least one hour in advance. 10 computers on each floor can be booked. 
3. Book a seminar room. The Anaverna and the Ferdia Presentation Room upstairs can both be booked for one hour at the library desk. Try and do this well in advance to avoid disappointment. 

You can also save time and avoid queues by:

1. Using the self-issue machine to check out books. Swipe your card, then the book using the DkIT Library barcode. Push the book so that it touches the back of the machine and desensitizes properly. You should get a receipt at the end showing the books you’ve checked out. 
2. Renewing your books online on the library catalogue page. If you encounter problems renewing, phone us at 042 9370310 and we will hopefully be able to help. 

Remember to save your work regularly if you are working on a computer. Computers left unattended for more than 15 minutes will automatically log out and any belongings left at them will be cleared. This is in the interests of fairness to make sure that everyone who needs to gets a chance to use a computer.
