Statistical, mathematical, and programming software available
in the college is primarily provided by the OIT via campus
licensing contracts. In other instances software may be provided
by the Information Technology group, department funds, or
with personal sources (such as a DFA).
Regardless of the funding source,
Research Technologies will, at a minimum, support installing
or accessing an application, and assist in locating problem
solutions. Mathematica is an example of software in this
category.
In addition, some software has expanded support that includes programming,
license renewal, and version upgrading. SPSS is an example of software in
this category.
The highest level of support includes expert consulting in software usage
and programming, internal documentation, custom libraries, training, and
sample programs. Generally, at this level of support the RT staff is the
complete facilitator for all faculty needs. SAS is an example of software
in this category.
