April 24, 2008: Help Using SAS

[This is an update from the August 2, 2007 announcement below.]

Are you having problems in SAS accessing a file off your USB flash drive? This is because SAS runs on a remote server and needs the correct syntax to be able to "see" your flash drive. If your flash drive is F: then switch out F: with the following text, "\\tsclient\F\". Note there is no ":" in the command.

For example, let's say your file is this:

F:\Pub101\Study\dataset.sas

In SAS it should look like this:

\\tsclient\F\Pub101\Study\dataset.sas

Please see the TLC Help Desk if you need any help with SAS.

March 18, 2008: Using Heart Sounds Programs

October 30, 2007: TreeAge Software Added

August 29, 2007: New Printing System, Rates

The library's copicard system has been replaced by a BruinCard system. To print, you will still see the same pop up window and use the same print stations, but you will swipe your BruinCard instead of insert a copicard. You can add money to your BruinCard at the cash-to-card machine near the Circulation Desk, or go to bruincard.ucla.edu. The new rate is $0.11 per page.

August 2, 2007: Using SAS

SAS can be found in the "Other Applications" folder on the desktop. Double-click on SAS.rdp Because SAS is running on a server, you will be asked to enter your TLC username and password. Your "My Documents" and any removable drives will be available. IMPORTANT! To run your SAS scripts from a removable drive (such as drive E:), you must type "\\tsclient\" before the drive name, for example: "\\tsclient\E\Scripts.sas"

June 22, 2007: New System Upgrades

Thirty-four new Dell Optiplex GX745s have been installed, and all software and the Pharos printing system have been updated. New nineteen-inch LCD monitors are currently on back order.
