On campus
A number of launch shortcuts are gathered into a single menu on cluster PCs (and other PCs with the CLIP image), found by following
Start | All programs | Programs - Faculty | Faculty of Humanities | Linguistic Resources.
Off campus
Many web-based services will work fine off-campus. Those web services authenticated from a campus IP address will work if you install the VPN ('virtual private network') client on a home computer. However, programs which don't use a browser are not accessible from outside the university, and stored corpora only if you use the VPN and also log in via Novell.
