Introduction

With more than 220 computers, the Andruss Library acts as the largest computer lab on campus. Lab Assistants are on duty during most of the time the library is open to help solve hardware problems.

Computer discs with important files are often inadvertently left in our computers and reported missing. Some are turned into our Lost & Found at the Circulation Desk on the First Floor. Students are encouraged to identify their discs with a name and telephone number. Loaner discs (3 1/2 inch floppies) are available at the Circulation and Reference Desks.

Computers Using Microsoft Windows

These computers are located in the word processing rooms, most carrels and group study rooms, plus the classroom/laboratory in Room 243. Their software includes:

For those wishing to load Windows software, the ten computers to the left of Room 242 (Second Floor) are unlocked for this purpose.
CD burners are attached to one computer in the First Floor Word Processing Room and to another on the Second Floor.

Specialized Software Windows Machines

This is Special software that Academic Computing provides us for some classes. If there is a package that a faculty member wants added to our Specialized Software PCs, they need to contact Cheryl Stahler in Academic Computing to start the process. Their software includes:

Internet Stations

These computers are designed to access only Internet sites, including the library's catalog and most of the library's subscription databases. They do not have applications which open or create documents, e.g. Microsoft Word. Most Internet stations (Stations 11-23) are located between the Reference Collection and the classroom on the 2nd floor. Additional stations are also opposite the main elevator on each floor.

Installation of a wireless network was completed in January, 2004. Instructions for laptop users are found here.

CD-ROM LAN Stations

The Compact Disc-Read Only Memory Local Area Network (Stations 1-10) on the 2nd floor contains specialized databases that cannot be accessed via the Internet. They also have Microsoft Excel for use with the Value Line CD.

The CD-ROM Databases page lists the contents of the LAN.

Apple Macintosh Computers

All sixteen Macs are on the 4th floor, most near Group Study Room 415 with some others near Group Study Room 418. Their software includes:
