Technology in the Libraries


This page will soon be a resource for all Columbia University students, staff, and affiliates to get answers to questions such as:

Descriptions

What is ENVI? When would I use NVivo? What is MestReNova?

Locations for Specific Software

Where in the Libraries can I use a workstation with Photoshop, ArcGIS, OCR software, or any other software offered by the Libraries?

Available Software by Location

What software is available in the Digital Humanities Center, in Lehman Library, in the Butler Media Lab, or in any other Library location?

Assistance and Documentation

Where can I find tutorials, manuals, and training resources about particular software programs?

Downloads

What software is available for download by Columbia students, staff, or others?

Workstation Availability

What are my chances of getting an available computer with the software I need in the Digital Science Center, Digital Social Science Center, Engineering Library, or any other specific Library location?
