Overview

This checklist is intended to help a new hire (henceforth referred to as "you") to get started with Library and UCLA software and services in their first few days. Most items are web-based and can be done from any computer.

You should already have a 9-digit UID and a UCLA Logon ID with Duo before your start date; most of the items below are dependent on one or both of those things.


🔲 Accounts Handout

Download or print the latest "UCLA Library Staff Accounts Overview" handout from Box. The document includes clickable links for many of the items listed below. 

ucla.box.com/v/LibStaffAccounts

🔲 Schedule Tech Overview

Reach out to DIIT (Digital Initiatives & Information Technology) to schedule a tech overview. Ideally, your supervisor schedules this ahead of time, and it may correspond with your computer deployment.

Someone from the DIIT Service Desk team will meet with you to go through the remainder of this checklist.

TOD

T.O.D. and Library Duo

Technology On Demand (

TOD

T.O.D.) provides access to virtual Windows applications

. With Citrix Workspace installed on your computer, you can use these applications as if they were installed on your computer

through Citrix. The use of T.O.D. requires enrollment in Library Duo, which is used with your Library Account.

Library Duo is separate from campus Duo that is connected with your UCLA Logon ID.

  • Log onto tod.library.ucla.edu with your Library account

  • Follow the prompts to enroll in Library Duo

  • Find and launch "PaintDotNet"

🔲 Wi-Fi (eduroam)

On a laptop or phone, connect to the eduroam wireless network, which has strong coverage in campus buildings and many outdoor areas. Eduroam is used by institutions worldwide, and your UCLA credentials will allow you to connect in other places that also run eduroam.

  • Accept the "radius" certificate

  • Authenticate on eduroam with your UCLA Logon ID in the form "username@ucla.edu"

  • Review the difference between eduroam and UCLA_WEB

🔲 VPN

The UCLA Virtual Private Network (VPN) allows you to connect to resources that are limited to campus. In addition to Library-provided databases, these resources can include websites, staff computers, and other technical systems.

  • Open Cisco Secure Client, which should show "ssl.vpn.ucla.edu"

  • Connect and authenticate with your UCLA Logon ID, which will include a Duo prompt

  • Note the difference between connected and disconnected icons

🔲 Zoom

UCLA primarily uses Zoom (ucla.zoom.us) for video conferencing and is transitioning to Zoom Phone for phone services.

  • Log into Zoom with your UCLA Logon ID

🔲 Box

Box (ucla.box.com) is UCLA's sanctioned cloud storage service for most university data and is used extensively in the Library.

  • Log into Box web with your UCLA Logon ID

  • If using, also log into Box Drive

🔲 Computer Use

On your primary computer, please make sure you can:

  • Log in using your own account

  • Find your computer name and/or inventory key

  • Add a printer (use Wepa if no relevant Library printer)

  • Set up Microsoft Outlook

  • If using a Mac, open and use the Self Service application
