Moving on from introducing you to the Queen’s Online (QOL) digital hub and quick links section to other digital services. This week, we investigate the Intranet options that QOL offers.
Why use the Intranet?
When it comes to getting access to relevant information, it should be available in the intranet sites in Queen’s Online. Yes, you can access the content from the external QUB website. However, it might take more time finding the content.
So where do I find the Intranet section on QOL?
We’re glad you asked. From the screen shot below, you will see a card labelled Intranet / Directory of Services and it has a Search feature underneath it (as seen below):
If you know what you want to search for, use the Search facility. This can save time and effort instead of trawling through the different options available. However, if you’re not sure what you’re looking for OR you’re just familiarizing yourself about the different services offered, then use the Intranet Sites tab (as seen below):
You can see the Intranet Sites has three sections:
- Directorates
- Faculties
- Schools
Do explore these options as it provides quick and timely information which is easy to navigate. So what’s important? It all is. Let’s start off looking at Directorates and Academic & Student Affairs and Information Services. This is where you can find information on:
- Academic Affairs
- Student Services & Systems
- Student Support & Development
- Educational Development
- Information Services
- Directory of Services
- Library Services
- Learning and teaching support
- Digital Transformation, and
- Documents

Educational Development
This is the page you should come to for information on Centre for Educational Development, and Events and courses that you can avail of.
Information Services
This is to do with all things IT, computing and technology. Do come into this page and have a look around the different services available:
- Directory of services
- Library services
- Learning and teaching support
- Digital transformation, and
- Documents
Within Information Services, you can find out the status of key services, i.e., if computing systems or networks are not running at 100%. Along with this, should you have an IT query (this includes issues with buildings access, email accounts, library services, etc.), do contact the IT Service desk as your first point of call.
If you prefer to talk to someone face-to-face, you will find the IT Helpdesk in the McClay Library on the main campus site.

Next week, we will continue looking at Information Services’ Library section. Then continue with more Intranet options on Queen’s Online the following week.
