Normally you’d want to have a clean, professional space set up just like in your Library office. However in this situation, we might not all have the privilege of a dedicated space. So, do your best to set up a space that is one you can return to every morning. Having a dedicated space to work helps you leave it at the end of the day, just as you would leave work, and help maintain a healthy mental separation. Ensure your workspace has the following characteristics:
In an office, you can go to someone’s desk and talk to them. Remotely, you can use technology to mirror this as much as possible.
Be sure you have all files from your office computer saved in a location you can access while working from home. The Library's web file manager service, HTTP Commander, allows you to connect to the Library's network drives from the Cloud. You also have one terabyte of space available via Microsoft OneDrive when you log in using your O-Key credentials.
It's best to make use a cloud file service to ensure files don't get lost while working remotely or when transferring back to your office computer.
If possible, connect your Internet via Ethernet cable for a more reliable experience. WiFi will still work if Ethernet isn't available. Note that if it isn’t a fast connection, you may have issues with hearing or transmitting sound when using Zoom.
At the Library, the Systems department ensures you work on secure computers and networks. While at home, it's important to also be sure that you are working on secure computers and networks. This means making sure your home WiFi is password protected and that your computer is up to date with virus and malware protection. If you're using a Systems-issued laptop or Surface, this is already equipped with this software.
