Many files are in OpenDocument formats [odf] and were created using OpenOffice.org. A few are Gnuplot plot files. Other formats such as Excel and portable network graphic files are present as well. Outside of the A204 math science computer laboratory the OpenOffice documents cannot be accessed. There are two computers in the math science division conference room which also have the ability to open OpenOffice.org documents. The .html web pages, .xls Excel files, and .doc Word files can be opened in the library.
