Lab Access

How to get access to the lab? 

There are nine terminals located in Room 163 in the Shields Library for research and teaching. There are two terminals located in Room SSH2139 in the Agricultural & Resource Economics Department for research. One terminal will be installed in the Graduate School of Management. Gaining access to the Bloomberg terminals in the Shields Library requires two steps: 

  1. A key card or mobile Aggie Access:  If you do not have a key card or mobile Aggie access, you can apply for it at the Aggie Access website using their application form. Enter "Dale Snapp" and key access manager and "Burkhard Schipper" as instructor. 

  2. Approval of access to the lab: Fill in the following application form.
