The Systems Lab

The Computer Systems Lab, known as the CSL, maintains and operates a wide variety of systems for instructional and research use for the Computer Sciences Department at the UW-Madison. Its staff of undergraduate and graduate students and full-time professionals performs file backups and restorations, installs new systems, corrects bugs in existing software, and develops new software. The CSL should never be used as a substitute for your TA, instructor, or a Unix consultant stationed in the user rooms. Only matters pertaining to the functioning, administration, or maintenance of system hardware or software should be brought to the attention of the CSL. The CSL, located in room 2350, is open Monday through Friday from 8:00am to noon and 1:00pm to 5:00pm, with limited evening and weekend coverage.
