Desktop Computers in the Library

The Medical Library offers public computers for use in the Information Room and the Computer Resource Laboratory (CRL) . All computers have Internet access and selected computers have productivity software such as Microsoft Office, EndNote and special software for statistical and multi-media applications. Access to "productivity" and digital imaging workstations require a Yale Medical Center NetID. The CRL is a 24x7 room on the basement level. Access is through the library whenever the library is open. When the library is closed the CRL can be accessed through an outside door in the back corridor off the main Sterling Hall of Medicine stairway.

All computers are equipped with CD-RW and DVD-ROM drives. Most computers also have DVD burners. All computers (and most monitors) have USB ports for personal USB portable storage devices. Each computer is configured with common browser plug-ins, such as: Adobe Acrobat Reader, Quicktime, Real Player, Shockwave, Flash and Windows Media Player. All run Symantec Antivirus software.

The Library has two scanning stations in the Computer Resource Lab's Digital Imaging Center. One of the CRL digital imaging workstations runs Windows and the other is a Mac. There is also a Windows scanning station in the Information Room. All 3 of the imaging workstations have full featured graphics creation and OCR software. The CRL has another high-end Mac Pro with the newest versions of Adobe Creative Suite and Final Cut Pro video editing software. See below for specific details.

The Library also has a laptop computer loaner program exclusively for medical center students. These computers may be used in the library or can be checked out for up to three days at a time.
