Help
Hopefully you can find answers for most of your questions here in the Wiki. Take a look through the ITNG Index to see what services we offer, and to see whether there is already a solution for any problem you may encounter.
To help you deal with any more complicated problems, ITNG run a Helpdesk, which is located in G61.
NOTE: The helpdesk opening hours have changed. We are currently trying new opening hours to see whether they will be better suited to students' needs. The helpdesk is now open 10.30am - 2.30pm every weekday with no exceptions. Alternatively you can contact the Helpdesk by sending an email to si-help@reading.ac.uk
