Internet+Links

= SPSS Software = For your assignments in this course, you will need access to SPSS statistical software for your computer. SPSS is now owned and licensed by IBM. There are 4 ways to obtain SPSS access. Please feel free to use whichever option works best for you.

1. Many computers at OSU have SPSS loaded. You can use one of these computers to do your assignments if you are on campus.

2. If you are running Windows XP or Vista operating system, Dr. A can loan you a copy of SPSS 9.0 to use for the semester. This version is OLD (current version os 20), but it gets the job done and will handle everything you need to do for class. This old version will NOT work on Windows 7.

3. You can purchase the SPSS Grad Pack in the OSU Bookstore. This pack has time limitations on its license but is a recent version of SPSS. Check in the Bookstore for current license costs and limits on time the software will operate and number of computers on which it can be loaded.

4. You can purchase a short-term (6 months or 1 year) license on the SPSS pack of your choice and download it directly into your computer from the Internet. The Basic pack is fine for class; you can get a more advanced pack if you wish. Here are web sites for purchasing this SPSS license option:

[] (On the Hub software retailers; have SPSS version 20 available for download) [] (IBM website - look at right side of the page for links to several sources to purchase an SPSS. Please check all current sources; some charge less than others for SPSS packs.)
