The law school provides broad support to laptops running the Windows Vista and XP operating systems as well as Macintosh OS X; and more narrow support to other operating systems such as Windows 2000, and to mobile devices.
We expect students to:
- Ensure their computers meet the Campus Minimum Security Standards. In particular, students should be aware of the campus requirements for the timely installation of software patches and mandatory use of anti-virus software and a client-based firewall.
- For further information see socrates.berkeley.edu:2002/MinStds/AppA.min.htm (the standards)
and socrates.berkeley.edu:2002/MinStds/impl.guide.html (the implementation guidelines).
Library computing staff do not repair faulty hardware. Campus Computer Repair and Support at the Hearst Field Annex on Bancroft offers broader hardware repair services. Contact them at 643-3937 or by email at ccrsinfo@berkeley.edu . Another local repair company is Sweet Memory at 2380 Telegraph (849-1000).
Students may use the following table to see what aspects of laptop support they may expect from the law school. Email studentcomputing@law.berkeley.edu if you need help in these areas, schedule an appointment online, or drop by the lab offices in rooms M130C and D.
The Student Computing Handbook and the slides from the Computing Orientation provide a lot of useful information for students about labs, printing, and laptop support.
