If you are planning to purchase a new computer for use on campus, we recommend that you purchase a Dell through the Barnard buying program. If you choose to bring a computer other than Dell, it should meet our minimum specifications in order for you to receive technical support from the Residential Computing Program. In no instance do we guarantee that a computer can be connected to our network, but a computer that meets our minimum specifications is more likely to connect and function properly. Computers that meet these requirements will also be better equipped to run the latest software efficiently. The labs provide access to word processing, database, and spreadsheet applications, newsgroups, E-mail, specialized departmental software, CLIO, and the Internet.
Laser printing is available in all labs.
Please read this brochure carefully. It provides important and detailed information regarding computing and network resources at Barnard, for both new and returning students. Enjoy the rest of your summer. We look forward to seeing you in the fall.
