IT ISSUES

If you have difficulty logging into your UL account or using ULs IT services, you need to log a call with the ITSS to get your issue resolved. You must log your call online, but they are dealt with quite quickly.

LOG A CALL: Go to www.ul.ie/itss, and follow the instructions. 

ASSISTANCE AND INSTRUCTIONS: ITSS has published a section on their Call Management System (TopDesk) to help students called ‘Remote Study’ which includes instructions and relevant content for students. You can view the remote study information by logging in to TopDesk  https://ul.topdesk.net/ and select the ‘Remote Study’ tile

SECURITY – remember ITD or ITSS will NEVER send you an email looking for your UL email username and password, and DO NOT click on links or attachments from senders that you do not recognise (think-before-you-click)

TIP: Regardless of your query with regard to UL, a good place to start is www.ul.ie and use its search function as you would google.

LIBRARY ISSUES

Online access to the library’s ebooks and electronic journals is available via ul.ie/library

The Library purchases its ebooks from multiple suppliers and access to ebooks can differ widely across supplier platforms. The Library may provide multiple copies of an ebook, you can always tell from the number of links in the “View Online” section of the ebook’s catalogue record. If downloadable, ebooks are most generally available as PDFs.

In general, you can use ebooks for the following periods of time:

FINES: Books on loan will NOT be subject to renewal dates or fines during the campus-closure.

ERASMUS /INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS RETURNING HOME:

If you are returning to U.L. in the near future then please do not worry you can bring it back to us then. If you have a friend who can return them to us on your behalf when we re-open you can do that also. You can also leave them at your village reception. We will retrieve them when we re-open.

If it is the case that you won't be returning we would be grateful if you would put the item in the post to us.
