Today's big question at the InfoPoint is, "How do I sign on the computers?" Thanks to LeiLani Freund for the following tips:

• Everyone needs a Gatorlink account. One can be created at: http://www.gatorlink.ufl.edu/
• The link to create an account sends users to PeopleSoft at: https://my.ufl.edu (Look for the link GatorLink Account Creation)

Problems?

• Even people who have passwords have trouble signing on. If they forgot ttheir password, they will need to contact CIRCA at 392-HELP, or walk over to the HUB to have a CIRCA consultant reset their password.
  

• Keyboard woes. If someone has trouble signing on, check to see if the computer keyboard has the caps lock on.
  

• Send non-UF folks who would like a computer signon to the Circulation Desk. Only a few people can create Guest accounts. Guest accounts are good for two weeks, and are not renewable.
