Overview
Research Computing Support facilitates the research activities of faculty, graduate and undergraduate students, and staff. Our two locations—
- The Scholars' Lab (Alderman Library, 243-8800); and
- The Research Computing Lab (Brown Science and Engineering Library, 243-8799)
—provide researchers with places to explore research technologies and receive assistance with specialized hardware and software from Research Computing and Library Support staff.
Both labs are staffed by members of the Research Computing Support Staff, Library staff, and advanced students. They provide online, walk-in, and telephone support for research, statistical, scientific, and high performance computing questions.
You can also get help from us using our online help system.
