SPSS/PASW STATISTICS SOFTWARE AVAILABLE FOR FACULTY/STAFF HOME USE
LTS has just signed a new agreement with IBM/SPSS to provide SPSS/PASW statistical analysis software for Lehigh faculty and staff to use on their personally owned computers at home.

The software is available for Windows only and includes the following modules:
· SPSS base
· SPSS advanced
· SPSS regression

This software will continue to be available on campus for use on Lehigh-owned computers. AMOS is still available, but only for use via the LTS campus network on Lehigh-owned computers. AMOS is not available for faculty and staff home use.



MULTILINGUAL WITH MANGO LANGUAGES!
Quieres aprender este idioma?
Vuoi imparare questa lingua?
Voulez-vous apprendre cette langue?
Wollen Sie diese Sprache lernen?
あなたはこの言語を勉強したいですか
你想學這門語言
هل تريد أن تعلم هذه اللغة؟

The phrases above are Spanish, Italian, French, German, Japanese, Chinese, and Arabic for 'Do you want to learn this language?' These are currently the most popular languages chosen by Lehigh University students, faculty and staff who have tried Mango Languages. Join the growing population of language learners (275+) here at Lehigh by checking out Mango Languages today! Be sure to Create a Profile in Mango to track your progress. For more information on using Mango and to find other language resources, check out the Library Guide: Language Resources.



THE DEFINITIVE DICTIONARY!
The online Oxford English Dictionary, affectionately known as the OED, has a new look and new features. Still the 'definitive' dictionary for the definitions, history, and pronunciation of English words, the OED now has a more user-friendly interface. Additionally, some new features include: a 'Word of the Day', recently published words, timelines, a historical thesaurus, browsing ability by categories (subject, usage, region, or origin), and an 'Aspects of English' section, which includes commentaries on the English language. Come explore the OED!



SPRING (COMPUTER) CLEAN-UP
Windows Users: Right–click on your hard drive (Local Disk -- usually C) via the My Computer link or through Windows Explorer and choose Properties. On the General tab in the Properties window, click on Disk Cleanup and choose the files you want to clean up.

Mac Users: There is no manual disk cleanup utility in the Mac OS. The Mac OS auto-runs these utilities. If you are having problems accessing or editing files, use Disk Utility in the Applications/Utilities folder to verify and repair disk permissions. For more information on disk permissions, refer to the information at this link: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1452.



BE SMART: CHOOSE THE RIGHT SMARTPHONE
In Lehigh’s computing environment, certain smartphone models run Lehigh applications better than others. Apple’s iPhones and iPods, Blackberry’s Bold models are fully supported. Lehigh email, calendar and Wi-Fi applications may work on other devices, but there are no guarantees.

For support contacts on campus browse to this webpage: http://www.lehigh.edu/computing/software/supportpolicy.html. Please see the instructions on this page for setting up Lehigh supported devices: http://cf.lehigh.edu/act/pda/index.cfm.
