Campus Computer Labs - List

Odum Library has over 200 computers available for use by VSU students, staff and faculty. The GALILEO password is required to log into the library computer lab workstations as purchased from Student Technology fee funding, including those in the Internet Café. GALILEO Password Discovery workstations have been conveniently positioned on each library floor to facilitate access to the GALILEO password.   Library visitors in need of a computer are directed to the four workstations behind the 2nd floor Reference service point. (Library Hours)

Laptops may be reserved and borrowed from the first floor Media Center.  Library Study Rooms and the Group Study Rooms (1100 and 1110) are equipped with workstations.  Each computer has a sound card and available headset jack.  Remember this is a library -- audio headset use is a must.  (Get In the Zone)   While audio headsets may be checked-out at both Circulation desks, users are certainly encouraged to utilize their own audio headsets. 

Adaptive technology for students with disabilities is available in rooms 1060 and 1070 as adjacent to the Internet Café. Two bi-level computer workstations on height adjustable tables that accommodate wheelchair access are located in the library, one in the first floor Internet Café and another on second floor across from the IT Helpdesk.

- Deep Freeze software is installed improving the reliability of lab computers, especially those in high-use areas and increasing the overall availability of working machines in the library. Deep Freeze is a piece of software that 'saves' the computer's configuration, settings, etc. Anyone can change the desktop, install/delete programs, change software configurations, etc., but on restart, the computer returns to the original settings. Save your work often! Blank CD’s and floppy disks are available for purchase at the circulation desk.

**Loading New Software:  All software must be loaded by the Library Automation Staff.  Faculty may contact automation@valdosta.edu or use software installation request form, providing proof of licensing and master copies of the software.  It is recommended that you allow at least two full business weeks in advance, because of the testing and loading that accompanies the loading of any new software.  Although rare sometimes software cannot be loaded because it causes conflict with the campus standard application suite.
