Booking Computers in the Libraries MCC Library Central and Learning Zone Getting Started Series The Netloan system for using the computers also lets you book a computer in advance if you know when you are going to need one. You can ask a member of staff to help you with this or you can book online yourself. Open an internet browser such as Internet Explorer. Type the following URL into the address box http://pcbooker.midchesh.ac.uk (note there is no www).
Log in to pcbooker using your student number and password as you would to log into a PC (staff can use their usual login too). You will now see the Home tab which shows any future reservations you have made. To make a booking, click on the Reservations tab. You can make up to four bookings in advance. You can book up to 14 days in advance. On the right hand side of the screen, select which centre you want to book a computer in, by clicking on “select from list”. You will see 3 centres, just click the one you want. Select which area you want to sit in by looking at the drop down list.
Choose the day you want to make the reservation by clicking on the date in the calendar – you will only be able to book up to the maximum time of 3 hours per day. I’m going to make a booking for Thursday 15th March 2012, so I click that date.
I have chosen the computer LZ-21 in the Learning Zone.

Booking Computers in the Libraries MCC Library Central and Learning Zone Getting Started Series
I want the booking for these times. Now I click on Create.
The booking now shows in blue on the reservations chart. I can make a booking anywhere there is a white space. Light grey blocks are bookings already running; dark blue ones are bookings made by other people; green ones are bookings waiting for someone to log in. Your future booking will appear as light blue. When you arrive for your booking your name should be in the top right hand side of the screen. If no one is using the computer you have booked you can login up to 15 minutes early. You will have 10 minutes to log in after the time of your booking or it will automatically be cancelled and the computer will be free for someone else. To cancel or change a booking go to pcbooker as above, find your booking and click on it. It will turn yellow and the details will appear in the editing box. You can then either change the booking or click on Delete to cancel it. If you do not need a booking and you cannot cancel it yourself please let the Library/Zone staff know and we will cancel it for you. Please email library@midchesh.ac.uk with your student number and the date and time of the booking, or ring 01606 720646 for Hartford Library; 720651 for the Learning Zone; or 720652 for Winsford Campus Library. If you need any help making or managing your bookings please do ask any member of the Library/Zone staff. http://library.midchesh.ac.uk http://pcbooker.midchesh.ac.uk http://librarycentralmcc.blogspot.co.uk/
