'''In order to create an effective and productive computer lab, planning and user-cooperation is essential.''' Users should <u>not</u> just ask for software to be installed on a computer, but indicate their "needs", and the AVIT department will match the best software for that "need". This process may seem cumbersome, but remember that the Westminster Computer Lab is a Linux-based computer lab, and there may be cost, license licensing, or other technical issues related to installing proprietary software in the Westminster Computer Lab.
