SPSS in YNiC
by Joe Lyons 29 Jun '26

29 Jun '26

Hello We've had a few enquiries about SPSS in YNiC. SPSS 27 was the last version to be made for the Linux system we use here. IBM have since decided not to develop a linux version going forward. The University stopped licensing the version we have installed as it's no longer supported. SPSS is available on the centrally managed Virtual Desktop Service, https://www.york.ac.uk/it-services/tools/vds/. We're looking at alternative statistical analysis software packages for YNiC and will update you once we have once available. Thanks Joe -- Thanks Joe Lyons Senior Research IT Infrastructure Engineer York Neuroimaging Centre (YNiC), University of York joe.lyons(a)york.ac.uk 01904 325949 | 01904 325940

YNiC Closures
by Katya Krieger-Redwood 05 Jun '26

05 Jun '26

Dear Users, Due to the external works (which you may have noticed in the YNiC carpark!) as part of the University's Deep Geothermal Energy Project <https://www.york.ac.uk/about/sustainability/campus-operations/climate-actio…>, we have unfortunately had to close the centre on a few occasions at short notice. We are working hard to liaise with estates to minimise the impact on users, however, we are sorry for the disruption caused to your research. We are hopeful that the only remaining closures will be on *Friday 12th*, *Thursday 18th *and *Friday 19th of June* as they are due to do some extensive drilling and this will affect our ability to collect useful data for your projects. We will update you if there are any changes to this. Thank you very much for your understanding, Katya
