Camden Computing Services provides computing support for instructional programs through the following general services: instructional aid for course assignments; assistance in accessing information stored on microcomputers and servers through flyers, documentation, tutorials, seminars, and student consultation; and electronic communications (email, web pages, news).

Assistance is provided by student consultants in the use of microcomputers, servers, printers, and workstations; network access to Computing Services` systems, library systems, and the Internet; microcomputer software access; and interpretation of diagnostics and other common problems. Mobile access is available in two forms on the campus. Firstly, students, faculty, and staff may access the pilot wireless network service in the Campus Center that is available in the general seating areas of the cafeteria (not including the Octagon Room and Courtyard restaurant), Starbucks, the couches by the front windows, the lower area by the Raptor Roost/Pizza Shop, a portion of the computer lab, and the large lounge/eating area at the first floor entrance. As access is improved and funding is allocated, wireless access would be spread across the campus (Robeson Library, Fall 2003). Secondly, there is "open data jack" access for the general Rutgers community (faculty, staff, students) to RUNet that may be found in the Robeson Library, law building, Armitage Hall lobby, BSB lab room 110, and the Campus Center lab. These jacks are labeled with "Active" on the outlet plate. You will need a laptop computer with a wireless and/or Ethernet card properly installed and configured for access.

Located in the Business and Science Building, Computing Services operates the following equipment: Sun SPARC Ultra Servers for Unix, ADA, C++ programming, email, news, SAS, SPSS, and web service; an HP Color Scanjet to input graphics and perform text conversion; Sun workstations; and Windows servers to support the public computer labs. Various microcomputers (Dell and Apple Macintosh) are available for student access and are located in the Business and Science Building (rooms 108-110, 132-133), Campus Center basement (room 017), law school (rooms 102, 309, 408), Robeson Library (at the entrance, a graduate lab on the second floor, and a system in room 116), and the dorms (first floor apartment side). All systems are available to support class assignments made by the faculty and other general instructional applications.  Standard output across the campus is on laser printers.

Unix:  Pascal, Basic, C++, Pico, Sort, Pine, nn, ssh, Java, ADA, SAS, SPSSX, stfp, Netscape, mail virus scans, and SSL.
