Software Requests:
Due to the logistical difficulty of constantly installing and uninstalling software, as well as
financing and maintaining software licenses, the room can not have specialty software installed. In
rare instances, the machines may be modified to accommodate a presentation. If you have such a
need, please call or email the Library IT Help Desk at 4-4688 or libsys@library.uiuc.edu, at least
2 weeks in advance.
