Deep Freeze software is installed improving the reliability of lab computers, especially those in high-use areas and increasing the overall availability of working machines in the library. Deep Freeze is a piece of software that 'saves' the computer's configuration, settings, etc. Anyone can change the desktop, install/delete programs, change software configurations, etc., but on restart, the computer returns to the original settings. Save your work often!

    • Loading New Software: All software must be loaded by the Library Automation Staff. Faculty may contact automation@valdosta.edu or use software installation request form, providing proof of licensing and master copies of the software. It is recommended that you allow at least two full business weeks in advance, because of the testing and loading that accompanies the loading of any new software. Although rare sometimes software cannot be loaded because it causes conflict with the campus standard application suite.
