• Full versions of Microsoft Word, Excel, Access and Powerpoint are available on all other workstations.
• The workstations in the Training Room are made available for general use when there is no training scheduled.
• Workstations provide access to university programs such as LMS (formerly WebCT) and Lectopia - lectures online.

How to Print

La Trobe University Staff and Students are issued with a La Trobe Card, which provides access to a Transact La Trobe account. You can print using credit on your Transact La Trobe account, add credit to the account using one of the reload machines in the library or elsewhere on campus. See Transact La Trobe for more details.

CAVAL and other library users may purchase a $2.00 recharge card which can be used for both printing and photocopying. Please note the card number in the bottom left hand corner which you will need to provide in case of difficulties or loss of the card. If you wish to personalise the account so that it can be identified by the account name you give it rather than the number on the card, contact the Bendigo Printery.
