Two computer labs, located in the Law Library, are available for student use. The Ottenheimer Lab (Room 140) houses twenty computers and the Training Lab (Room 137) has ten. All of the computers run Windows XP and are connected to the campus network and the Internet. All computers have CDRW drives and USB ports. Software available in the labs includes Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, WordPerfect, CALI lessons, Adobe Reader, Westlaw and Lexis. The labs are available for student use during library hours, except when training sessions are in progress. If one of the labs is closed for training, the other lab will remain open. All computer use is governed by the UALR Acceptable Use Policy (pdf) and our Computer Lab Rules. (pdf)
There is a laser printer in each computer lab. Laser printers are also located on the second, third, and fourth floors of the library and in the library lobby for printing from a laptop on the wireless network. Come by our office to have the printers installed on your laptop to enable wireless printing. Law students have a per-semester printing quota of 500 pages. See the Printing Policy (pdf) for details.
Wireless access is available throughout the law school building. Law students, faculty, and staff with a Student or Facstaff account at UALR may use the wireless network. To access the network, you must enter your NetID and password. Once the NetID and password are correctly entered, you may browse the web freely.
Law students, faculty, and staff can find their NetID and set their password in BOSS (under Personal Information > View Usernames or Change Passwords on UALR Computing Systems).
We strongly advise that you install programs on your laptop to keep it free of viruses, spyware and adware (collectively known as malware). McAfee VirusScan is available for download free of charge. We also recommend Spybot Search and Destroy and Ad-Aware SE to keep your computer free of malware. Each of these programs performs a different function and has its own strengths.
If your laptop computer is infected with a virus or other malware, we will be glad to help you remove it. Call or come by the Computing Services office in the Law Library.
