3. Economics Computer Lab

Students registered for the Senior Thesis may use the department computer lab (Lehman 12) for work related to their projects. The lab is open whenever the economics department is open. For after hours access, go to the security desk at Barnard Hall. You will be asked to leave your identification.

The lab is connected to the Barnard network and has most major software packages. If you are not familiar with the software, consider working in the Academic Computer Center lab where there are consultants available to assist you.

Students are expected to provide their own diskettes. Paper supplies should be used judiciously.
