Specialized computers and software in the LRC
Galter Library has a group of 6 computers (4 Windows PCs and 2 Macs) equipped with software packages dedicated to handling statistical and bioinformatics workflows. These packages include:
- SPSS
- SAS
- Stata
- R & R Studio (open source statistical software)
- Vector NTI
- GraphPad Prism
In addition, these computers have standard productivity software (Microsoft Office suite, EndNote and the Adobe Creative Cloud).
Accessibility
The research computers are located on Level 1, which is accessible during regular library hours and after the library closes through WildCard access to the Extended Hours space.
Users who wish to use the specialized software on these computers will take precedence over users who may be using the computers for non-bioinformatics or statistical analysis. Users are encouraged to seek assistance from Galter staff if they wish to use a computer that is occupied by another user who is not using the specialized software.
Faculty, staff, and students may wish to acquire software for their research and personal use. See the NUIT site for a list of available software, most of which is free or discounted for NU affiliates.
