NVivo Campus License A one-year license agreement between Purdue and
QSR International allows for NVivo licenses to be
distributed to Purdue-owned and personally owned
computers for academic and administrative use,
saving campus users the cost of purchasing a
personal license. Prior to the new license
agreement, the College of Liberal Arts identified
more than 100 separate NVivo subscriptions, valued
at over $170,000, scattered across the West
Lafayette campus.
Teaching & Research The College of Liberal Arts IT department is
your first stop for your teaching and research
technology needs.
We are here to assist you with current projects as
well as brainstorming new ideas. CLA IT has
many resources available to aid in this process.
If we don’t have immediate access to a resource,
we will work as your liaison to work with other
campus resources.
Stop by BRNG 3268 or schedule an appointment
via phone or email to take advantage of this
college resource.
