Electronic mail is on a different server, mail.sas, although psychology people have the address @psych.upenn.edu. Faculty and staff (so far) also have the option of using facstaff, another server with larger quotas. Shell accounts are also available in connection with facstaff (see the help page), and these can be used for web space.

Requests for help should go to manager@psych.upenn.edu (or just manager@psych), except for those concerning psychology computers in 3401 Walnut, which should go to manager3401@psych.upenn.edu. The manager@psych.upenn.edu list is read by many people, including Sherry M. Weller (mainly responsible for desktop support), several people who take care of mail.sas and cattell, and Jon Baron (faculty liaison). The manager3401 list is read by Gil Kowie, who is mainly responsible for desktop support, as well as Jon Baron, John Yates, and a few others.

A room with desktop computers is set aside for graduate students (B3 Solomon Laboratories). Programs on these computers are listed here.

Scanners for pictures are located in the Lab Building and MMETS. Van Pelt Library's Moelis Computer Lab (ground floor), has one that does character recognition. To use that one, open Omnipage Pro on the computer.
