About the Helpdesk
Our Helpdesk staff members are here to assist you in establishing successful connections to Baker resources. They will do what they can to help you. To help make the most of your time with them, please keep the following points in mind:
- You must be at your computer when you call us with questions about our Internet resources and applications.
- We understand how frustrating it can be when you are having problems with your computer. As we assist you with the repair, please help us by remaining calm and answering questions as thoroughly as possible.
- The Helpdesk is staffed with only one or two people at a time. If you are calling during business hours and reach the answering machine, it is because all operators are helping other customers. Please leave a message and your call will be promptly returned.
