Use & Occupancy Guidelines:
- The Bloomberg terminals may only be reserved by Bryant University students. These terminals are intended for students enrolled in courses requiring Bloomberg use.
- Maximum time per booking: 2 hours.
- Maximum weekly use: 12 hours.
- Unoccupied terminals are available to individuals on a first come, first served basis.
- Users must login to these terminals with their Bryant credentials. No local generic login credentials may be used.
- First time login may take a few minutes to build the user’s profile; however, subsequent logins on the same terminal will be quicker.
- It is recommended that users reserve the same terminals in order to minimize boot time and for access to local data.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT DATA SECURITY:
Local disk space is provided to users for the convenience of working on projects only. If you choose to use this local space for on-going projects the following applies:
- Users must book the same terminal for each use as the data will only reside on the last computer used.
- Users are responsible for their own data.
- We highly recommend that users routinely backup their information to a USB device, or upload it to their cloud storage drive.
- PLEASE NOTE THAT THE UNIVERSITY IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DATA LOSS. These are public access systems which are not backed up.
- All computers will be wiped clean of data at the end of each semester.
- Please ensure you log-out when you have completed your work.
- Never leave the computer logged in and unattended.
