services include a walk-in service desk, plus a separate service desk in the main library, run by library staff. Library services
and IT are both part of the universitys administrative services division. Recently, under a new CIO, there has been a drive to
centralize and consolidate IT as a corporate function, although this has not been fully achieved.
The central IT department runs a variety of legacy systems, which serve students, administrators, researchers and
academics. It also runs some high performance computing systems and high bandwidth networks across the main campus
area.
