• manuals and instructions (e.g. how to connect your laptop to the UP network,
• how to set up mail forwarding, etc.)
• maps and plans of the university buildings
• links to the website of the library, including a catalogue of books, magazines and videos
• access to UP Portal applications (DMS, Courseware etc.)
• other useful links
