Many academic disciplines use software in research and teaching. Often, in-depth knowledge of fields such as statistics, chemistry, or mathematics is required for effective use of the software. Community self-support is a support model in which LTS helps organize experts in the community who are willing to provide assistance with software for which LTS lacks subject expertise.
For each type of CSSM software, LTS has identified a user coordinator who will help to manage a mailing list, develop Web page content, answer questions and troubleshoot problems, coordinate user meetings, teach training sessions, and coordinate workshops.
CSSM software is listed below. Please click the name of the software to be directed to its page.
