11.2) What computer facilities are available to law students at U.C. Davis?
U.C. Davis provides computer facilities for all registered students,
including PCs, Macintoshes, and Internet access. Call IT-CAP
(<mailto:ithelp@ucdavis.edu >) at (916)752-2548 for more information;
readers with a web browser may visit the Lab Management Home Page on
the World Wide Web (<http://lm.ucdavis.edu/labs/ >). In addition,
King Hall provides computer resources specifically for law students,
such as LEXIS and Westlaw. There are two computer rooms at King Hall:
The LEXIS/Westlaw room upstairs, and the computer lab in the basement.
11.2.1) How do I obtain access to the computer facilities at U.C. Davis?
Open an ez-account. You can do this at the LEXIS/Westlaw room in King
Hall or at any of the computer rooms anywhere on campus. However, you
will usually have to wait at least 24 hours before you can use your
account.
11.2.2) Will I lose access to computer services at U.C. Davis after I graduate? [Rev]
Yes. Your account will be tagged for expiration the day after you
graduate, and you will have to prove that you are still affiliated
with the University to retain your computer privileges. In other
words, you are not entitled to computer privileges after you graduate
unless you remain affiliated with the University, and your privileges
may be unceremoniously interrupted at any time after that.
11.2.3) What should I do to make sure that I still have access to computer services at U.C. Davis after I graduate?
For a small monthly fee, the Davis Community Network (DCN) will give
you 50 hours of access to the dial-in computer services that U.C.
Davis provides to it students. [Note: mother.com, America On Line,
and some other private ISPs/BBSs provide access to the ucd.*
newsgroups.] Anyone can telnet to the DCN server to join the DCN
(<telnet:wheel.dcn.davis >). For further information, see the
davis.dcn USENET newsgroup (<news:davis.dcn >) or visit the DCN Home
Page on the World Wide Web (<http://www.dcn.davis.ca.us/ >).
The National Public Telecomputing Network (NPTN) sponsors several
"Freenets" that provide free Internet access. For more information,
e-mail NPTN (<mailto:info@nptn.org >) or ftp NPTN's Freenet Guide
(<ftp://nptn.org/pub/nptn/nptn.info/concept.community.computing >).
The most satisfactory and reasonably priced for profit ISP is UUNET.
For more information on UUNET, send your snail-mail address to UUNET
(<mailto:info@uunet.uu.net > uunet!info). Whatever Internet service
provider that you choose, you will probably have to provide your own
computer and your own modem.
