Subject:  Spring 05 Interdisciplinary Technology Facility Changes & Faculty Orientations Invitation

 

The staff of Academic Computing would like to invite you to preview the upgrades we have implemented for the Spring 2005 Semester.  All Interdisciplinary Technology Facilities will be available January 6^th, 7^th, 10^th, 11^th, and 12^th for orientation and testing of your assignments. Please contact Academic Computing at x4200 to schedule testing time in any Interdisciplinary Technology Facility. A staff member will meet you at the appointed time and location.  In addition, the new Faculty Technology Solution Center in Siemens Hall 1 is open for testing coursework.

 

There will be a few small changes to the hardware and software, which include the following:

 

Facility       Hardware Changes

SH118     New PCs, FireWire/IEEE 1394, Zip 250MB, USB 2.0, CDRW

JH212     One Media Transfer Station (CDRW, Zip 250MB, Floppy) installed at the scanning station

GH218    One Media Transfer Station (CDRW, Zip 250MB, Floppy) installed at the scanning station

LB121     One Media Transfer Station (CDRW, Zip 250MB, Floppy) installed at the scanning station

FH202     One Media Transfer Station (CDRW, Zip 250MB, Floppy) installed at the scanning station

Changes to the standard software installation include: 

 

Please use the following links in order to access a complete version of both the standard software list and the discipline specific software list for any facility.

* http://www.humboldt.edu/~ac/labsftwr.shtml#sp05   - standard software list

* http://www.humboldt.edu/~ac/dissftwr.shtml  - disciplinary software list

 

 

This will be the first year Academic Computing staff will be fully supporting disciplinary software in addition to the standard software collection.  If you have any questions about this new initiative, feel free to contact your Lab Manager. 

 

In addition, Academic Computing staff would like to begin making contact with faculty members who assign course work to their students but do not usually schedule computer labs.  We are interested in what type of software you require your students to use to complete their assignments and what proportion of your students might frequent the University’s Interdisciplinary Technology Facilities.
