Non-Standard Software for Staff PCs

SCLS will attempt to install non-standard software on Staff PCs if the following conditions are met:

  • The software is not obsolete
  • The software was legally acquired
  • The software is free of malware
  • The library has provided the vendor's installation instructions
  • The library has provided the specific requirements for installing the software
  • The library has provided the vendor's installation files
  • The computer's hardware and operating system can support the software

Once installed, SCLS cannot support the configuration or use of the software.  Libraries need to work with their software support vendor regarding configuration and use.  The library is also responsible for coordinating any subsequent updates to the software.
