Instructions on booking a computer on-line

After you have clicked on book a computer, you will get the "Welcome to Netloan" screen. (To keep these instructions on screen while booking, you could right-click on the link, and from the pop-up menu choose 'Open in new window')

Logging in

In the Login box - enter your whole library card number (without spaces) starting with 24102.
Enter your pincode (PIN). If you don't know this number, ask staff for help next time you visit the library.
Click in the on-screen Login button.

You can now check your reservations or find the next time slot when a computer is free.

Checking your reservations

Click on 'Reservations', then 'Find reservations'.
Choose 'All future reservations', and click on 'Search'.
Alternatively, you can choose 'Interval', and input the two dates you want to check between.

This will give you a list of your computer bookings, showing branch, date, time and computer number. Clicking a line will take you to the reservation, where you can change the time, computer or delete it. You will need to save any changes.

Making a reservation

Find free slots - clicking this option will allow you to choose the library, date and time you want to check on. Clicking 'Search' will then give you a list of of available slots within the conditions you have entered. Click the line you want, which takes you another screen where you can click 'Create' to confirm the booking.
Alternatively, you can click 'Reservations', then choose the library and computer group, by clicking on them. This will take you to a grid, where you can click on the computer and time you want, if it is available. You must then click 'Create' to create the booking. (You also check a different date, by using the calendar in the upper left of the window).

Note: Reservations end 15 minutes before the library closes.
