Sociology Computing
Welcome to Sociology's Computing Site. Our department has some of the finest computing resources available to the discipline. The Sociology Research Lab (SRL) houses 15 state-of-the-art computing workstations, equipped with a diverse array of specialty software applications, digital scanning, b/w and color laser printing, and a host of technical reference materials. With three full-time professional IT specialists and a team of student computer support staff on site, statistical and computer consultation is readily available.
A second computing lab, with the same high-end computers and printing/scanning resources, is accessible to graduate students and faculty twenty four hours a day, 7 days a week.
The Sociology Instructional Laboratory (SIL) is a high-tech classroom with PC workstations, high-volume laser printers, digital projection with a SmartBoard (TM) tablet system and network storage space for students. This facility allows us to teach computer-based statistical analysis courses where hand-on computing experience is integrated with traditional lecture-based instruction for both undergraduate and graduate students. The instructional laboratory is available for students to work on assignments during non-classroom hours, and for computing-intensive office hours.
Our network infrastructure hosts our departmental web site, central email server with webmail and in-department listserv, and remote file access. We also offer short and long-term loan of computing hardware including laptops, data projectors for classroom use, digital voice recorders, and transcription equipment.
