Software
Ohio University has a license with Microsoft which allows each student to purchase software at set pricing. Please visit the below website for your desired product.

http://www.ohiou.edu/software/

The licensed software can be purchased from the Ohio University Lancaster Library (valid OU ID required).  If you have already bought an older version from the Library, you can exchange those disks (you must return your old disks) for an upgrade but you will be required again to pay the media fee. 

More software, such as McAfee Virus Scan and Eudora, is available for download (using your OAK username and password) free of charge to the Ohio University community for office and home use at http://www.cns.ohiou.edu/software/.

Other software packages can be purchased at an educational discount through Ohio University at http://www.ohiou.edu/software/.

Hardware
Computer systems can be purchased at an educational discount from most vendors such as:

• Gateway
• Dell
• Apple

*Note: When buying a computer system, you will save money by not purchasing it with Microsoft Office preinstalled. Students, faculty and staff can purchase the software from the Hannah V. McCauley Library.
