About the Software Database

The Wesleyan Software Database is the authoritative listing of all software managed by Information Technology Services. It is intended to provide members of the Wesleyan community with information about what software is available in our Academic Computing Labs, on Faculty/Staff desktop computers, on our UNIX computer server, and for installation on personal home computers.

Software licensing agreements govern where software can be installed. Some site licensed software is available to any member of the Wesleyan community, generally for both home and campus computers.

See our EDUCAUSE 2002 presentation about the software database.

Requesting Software

Software for teaching can be requested from the Academic Computing Manager for your division.  Research-oriented software may also be requested, but often times a cost-sharing relationship may be arranged in order to fund it. Once requested, turn around time until the software is available in a public computing lab or for faculty/staff desktops is generally four weeks, but this is heavily dependent on when the software is received from the manufacturer or distributor.
