Much of the work for your classes will be simplified if you have access to a computer. Many classes will even require computer assignments. However it is not necessary that you purchase a computer. Vast computer resources are available to Stanford students, including workstation, Macintosh, and PC environments. Various computer clusters can be found throughout the university: For a complete description of the University computing resources, visit the Computing and Communication website <tt>[http://www.stanford.edu/home/computing/ www.stanford.edu/home/computing/]</tt>.

* [http://campus-map.stanford.edu/index.cfm?ID=04-700 Terman Library]
* EMCC (usually referred to as "EMC2", located in Terman 104
* [http://campus-map.stanford.edu/index.cfm?ID=03-400 Meyer Library] (2nd Floor)
* [http://campus-map.stanford.edu/index.cfm?ID=02-300 Tresidder Union] (2nd Floor)
* Packard basement, Room 051

Assistance at all of these clusters is provided usually by student consultants. They can help you use the various computer systems available. The machines in the various clusters usually contain a variety of software ranging from spreadsheet programs to word processors, to CAD-drawing packages, to numerical analysis packages. Ask the consultants on duty what software you may need for certain applications, and where to find it. Laser printing is usually available within these clusters. The price per print varies from cluster to cluster between 5 to 15 cents per page.

Most research groups have their own computing facilities, which are reserved for the use of those groups.

In recent years computer and network security have become extremely important to protect our systems and data from external attack. The Department of Electrical Engineering maintains its own security Website at [http://island.stanford.edu island.stanford.edu] with advice and information on current security software and upgrades.

== Fax Machines ==

The Message Center, located in [http://campus-map.stanford.edu/index.cfm?ID=14-200 Forsythe Hall], room 195 (723-4081) offers telegram, telex (TLX 3722871 STANUNIV) and fax services (723-0010).
