Computing Lab (Rm 123)

The Humanities Center's computing lab provides SHC-affiliated faculty and graduate students easy access to the tools necessary to produce digital content. It also serves as a comfortable presentation and meeting space for small groups.

All of the computers in the lab support network-based home directories. This means that home directories are stored centrally on our serverss so that users can log into any machine in the lab and have access to their same desktop and file system with all the data and preferences they have at any other shared machine. Users can also log in to multiple machines simultaneously and can easily access their files remotely.
