National Databank

You can also pop into your local O2 store for a SIM card. Watch the Christmas advert.

Computers and Wi-Fi
Flatbed scanners are available at every library. Ask staff if you wish to use a scanner.
Using Office
Our new Windows 10 computers have Libre Office installed. This has most of the same features and functions as MS Office such as word processing and spreadsheets, the main difference that you will notice is that features are differently named and may be found in different locations. A brief guide to Libre Office is available (PDF 454kb).
Alternatively you can use cloud services such as Google Docs or Office Online to work with documents, but you will need a Google or Windows Live (Hotmail, Outlook) account to do so.
Saving your work
You will not be able to store or save work permanently on this PC as each PC is cleaned at the end of the session to ensure protection of users' privacy and security. Options for storage include:
- Pen drive
- Cloud storage – find out more from this Digital Unite guide or this easy to follow tutorial
