Services Provided in the CSC Office

CSC Office Services:
Computers	There are 9 PCs in the CSC, which are reserved for society use. You may keep a file in the Societies File on these to do your letters, posters, etc. These are connected to a laser printer. Because of limitations on computer space, you should only keep current working documents on the hard disk. If space is tight, we may clear out of date documents off society folders at the end of each term, but we will inform you before we do this.
Scanner	There is a scanner in the CSC office, which may be used for society business, connected to one of the PCs.
E-Mail	If you don't already have a functioning society Email account one may be set up by going to webmail.csc.tcd.ie. Please contact Lucy or Emma if you need your username and password.
Members Mailing List	It is also possible to set up a members mailing list. Go to "contacts"; "groups" and "create group" and add your members' email addresses in here. If you have any problems ask Emma or Lucy.
Society Web Sites	Once you have an e-mail account, it is possible to set up a web-site. When you have a web page designed ask Lucy to give you details of how to upload it to the tcdlife page. We will also then link it to the CSC societies' page.
Photocopying	The CSC photocopiers in the office may be used for society business only. You can do black & white copies up to A3 size on this. Each society is entitled to a maximum of 3000 free photocopies per term.
Credit Card	The CSC has a credit card which societies may use to book flights, buy books, materials, music, etc. All bookings must be done in the CSC Office. Ask Lucy for the card. It is vital that you inform Lucy immediately of what purchases have been made so that when the credit card statement comes in, she can assign the purchases to the correct Society.
Phones	All phonecalls may be made free of charge from the CSC. Dial 9 to get an outside line for Dublin numbers, mobile numbers, and numbers in the rest of Ireland. If you need to make an international call, you will have to ask a member of staff or officer to key in a code to bypass the College switchboard. Fax:
Fax	You may send or receive society faxes free of charge in the CSC. The number is 6778996. Faxes received will be left in the tray on the mantlepiece in the office for your attention. If you want to send a fax, ask a member of staff or an officer.
Postage	The CSC will mail your letters for you at no cost to your society. Just leave post in to the office before 3p.m. and it will go out the same day.
