In this classroom, in addition to the standard classroom portfolio, you will also be able to access the following installed software: Bloomberg Finance Lab (Front 20 PCs) Sage 50 Accounts 2012 (All PCs) DataStream (Back 2 Rows).

Assistive Technology Booths

The Assistive Technology Booths (ATBs) are accessible, single occupancy rooms available for use by students with disabilities, specific learning difficulties or medical condition. They provide a selection of assistive software and hardware that couldn’t practically be provided on the regular Classroom Computers.

There are four available in The Sir Duncan Rice Library, two on Floor 1 and two on Floor 4. See the IT Service webpages for full details on the booths
