Q. What software is available on library computers?

There are ten desktop computers (five Macs, five PCs) in the HKS Library's Computing Lab, including two dual-monitor setups. All Harvard affiliates can use these computers and print from them. They have the following software programs installed on them; details on these programs and support available is in the HKS Hub (HarvardKey login). Other locations at Harvard may offer versions of these applications that may not be compatible with our versions.

The HKS Library's two guest computers -- available for anyone to use regardless of Harvard affiliation -- come with no specialized software. Guests can use these computers to access licensed Harvard databases and print from the nearby guest printer.
