Q. Can the Library retrieve a lost document I was working on?

Due to IT policy restrictions, we are unable to retrieve lost documents from Library computers.

It is vital that you save your documents to a safe location and make regular backups.

USB drives and cloud-based applications such as OneDrive, Google Drive or Dropbox are all excellent places to back up your work.

Make sure you are not working on a document in email. This is the number one cause of lost work!
