Jenzabar University

All University computers have USB ports.  Just plug in the drive, open a folder, and save the files.

 

Larger files can be written to a CD-R; they can accommodate up to 700 MB of data.  If students don not have their own USB Flash Drive, they can purchase blank CD-R's from the Librarian for $0.50 each (St. Augustine only).  The FAQs in the Library Portal cover this topic.  CD-R's are used because they are compatible with all the audio-visual carts used by the University.  DVD-R's are also compatible.  CD-RW disks may NOT be compatible.  If you are bringin your own CD for a presentation, use a CD-R, NOT a CD-RW.  The same is true for DVD media.  DVD-RW media is NOT compatible with our computers and A/V carts.

This is NOT the best idea.  Do NOT save your documents to the local hard drive or desktop, as the Computer Lab computers are wiped every time the computer restarts.Computer Lab computers are wiped every few weeks, so data saved might be there one day and gone the next.  Better to save files to the Network (U) Drive.

 

All the Computer Lab computers share access to this drive, so everyone can view private documents.

 

Do not use CD-RWs, they may not be compatible.

 

Never trust a CD-R or a USB Flash Drive with the sole existing document.  Always back-up data to a second location.
