Software
ArcGIS software is installed on most public computers on Grounds. Here is the complete list.
As UVA students you are eligible to receive a copy of ESRI's ArcGIS software to install on your own computer. Please come the the Scholars' Lab in Alderman Library or the Research Computing Lab in Brown Science and Engineering Library to pick up an installation DVD. Once installed, to use the GIS software from off-Grounds use UVA's UVaAnywhere.
