Subject:      NOTIS LMS Enhancement Ballot

Just wanted to share with you the approach Wayne State/DALNET is considering
to the duplication of enhancements listed on the 1993 LMS ballot.  For items
we want to support, we could:
1. vote for the first occurrence of the item on the ballot; or
2. vote for the more inclusive item.

We have identified these 8 instances of "duplication":
1.  7 and 54 -- longer memos on OPR;
2.  9 and 56 -- X.12 support;
3.  18 and 71 -- keyword in staff mode; 71 seems more inclusive adding other
    NOTIS records to the bib;
4.  25 and 49 -- series title by volume number;
5.  53 includes 17, 19, and 32 -- handling of analytics;
6.  57 includes 1, 3, 4, and 13 -- additional staff mode record indexes;
7.  74 and 82 -- distributed printing;
8.  83 includes 72 and 80 -- improve LCR authorizations for large sites.

Since it seems desirable to avoid fragmenting votes for the same or very
similar enhancements, maybe our ideas can be a springboard for discussion
of a way to handle this.

New York University also uses the Hedman validator to produce a
perforation on our older transcripts.  But we use safety paper for
our new online transcripts.  The new transcripts are printed on a
Hewlett Packard IIID with a preprinted signature and an explanation
that the seal is not required.

Lew, thanks for the update. Many of us have been wondering. I hope we hear

I'm sure there are many like myself who would like to help. Should we contact

In reply to Slemo Warigon... I've been watching the PC database
parade for some time, and have tried several, including Paradox
and dBase... and committed to none yet.  I have just taken advantage
of the Microsoft offer for FoxPro 2.0 for $199 with a free upgrade
to FoxPro for Windows in December.  My technical acquaintances tell
me FoxPro is the best from a performance perspective, and my guess
is that Microsoft will make it better under Windows.  They have plans
to make the Windows version available for the MAC and UNIX environments.
It will be interesting to see what others have to say on this issue.

Pacific Lutheran University is begining to investigate a new
Development/Alumni system. We current run a stand along home grown system.
We have 2 potential directions we could go. The primary, long term solution
would be a VAX/VMS solution. A short term solution might be something to
run on a stand alone SUN running UNIX.

PLU is a small university with 3400 students and an alumni of 26000. The
number of friend and nonindividual accounts is nearing 90,000 and rapidly
growing. We graduate about 1000 students each year. Associated with the
development office is KPLU a national public radio station whose fund
drives are part of the system requirments. KPLU adds about 5000 new
accounts each year.

Please reply with product, platforms, preformance and problems to Robert
Paterson, (Paterson_R@PLU.Bitnet).

Subj:	RE: PC Backup Policy

As an Andrew recipient, it is not common sense nor is it common place.
One of the major problems with all this distributed/client-server hoopla
is the difficulty in explaining to each user group how much they have
to act as a computing center director when going into this mode.  Security	is
 obvious to a central administration, backup is obvious, off-site storage
network administration, training, upgrades, career enhancement and UPS.
We, in central administration, are responsible for the bridge to the
WAN and the university database/data.  The LANs and local data are the
responsibility of the division/unit.  We have all of this documented in
the UM Disaster Recovery Plan for Information Resources, which by the
way, worked.  We undertook the responsibility of calling and reminding
the community to power down and backup, but the responsibility for
execution is theirs.  We are now helping to bring up the LANs because
the central unit never lost phone service and full datt service to all
campuses was restored in 6 days.  Remember in any plan if you have a
water cooled computer, you will have generated power before water
pressure to operate.  Lastly, if there is a disaster where do you
find staff to operate your systems.  I could give you amazing stories
of loyalty to help the university get operational, including handling
5000 people in housing without water or electricity for 72 hours.

Subject:      PC Backup Policy

 The University of Minnesota plans to develop a policy statement about
 PC backup responsibilities.  It will probably also include PC/mini file-
 servers, but will NOT include the administrative mainframe systems.

 It may seem like common sense, but apparently the auditors say we need a
 formal statement.

 The policy needs to be somewhat generic, but it needs to say something
 meaningful.  We are discussing having the policy state that it is the
 responsibility of each department to develop specific backup procedures and
 assign individual responsibilities, etc.

 If you have a policy for your institution, I'd appreciate it if you would
 send me a copy.  Thanks very much.

Subject:      Relational Database Choice

Which of these relational database packages are most productive and
user-friendly: R:Base, Paradox, Alpha Four, Quartz?

We've Paradox and it works great, but its table connections lack
flexibility (achieved only thru multi-forms). Perhaps I'm wrong, but
having used R:Base I know how easy tables can be connected with R:Base
as oppossed to what I've seen with Paradox. Paradox works well with the
ObjectVision we have, and that is the bright side of it.

Any suggestions? Words of caution and choice? Note that our office is
committed to Windows environment, but when using database, we might
make exception for dos-based package.

Greetings!

At California State University, San Marcos, the Office of Enrollment
Services is responsible for a number of areas, including admissions and
records.   We also handle requests by faculty and staff for student information
on reports and address labels and other ad hoc requests.   Since our new and
growing university community is becoming more geographically separated,  our
existing report request and output
release procedures may no longer work as well.   But we also need
to ensure the information's security.

It would be very useful to know how other institutions have handled
this issue of internal university requests for student information?

Do you have a formal report/label request procedure?
Do you require in-person pick-up of output?
Do you use campus mail to send report/labels with student info?
Do you e-mail student info output to internal users?

Thanks in advance for your comments.

Subject:      U of Miami is On again

For all interested parties, we have weathered Andrew and are
back on the network with most nodes.  The city and the campus are as
affected as you have seen in the papers.  We postponed classes 2 weeks
and officially back at work on 8/31.  The disaster recovery plan for
telecommunications and computing worked better than expected.  Hate
to test plans on-line but we've lived through the "virtual reality"
of a national disaster.  Still can't find many people including 22
of my staff.  Middle Miami is not an evacuation area because only
people threatened with water surges are told to go.  Andrew was so
strong it passed through the evacuation areas and mutilated the rest of
South Dade also, and that's where the missing people reside.  Million
dollar homes and campers were treated as unkindly.  Of 80 police
officers in Homestead, 76 are homeless and yet they're working around
the clock.  As bad as it looks on tv--It's worse.

---------
I am a Systems Analyst at Georgia Tech working for the Information
Systems and Services Department.  We are currently undertaking the
rewriting of the Student Records Application using Oracle's relational
database and tools.

I am concerned with the complexity involved in the writing of the
Degree Audit program.  I have not researched this with any great depth,
but the users in the Records office and other programmers here on staff
have warned me that programming this in-house could become quite
involved.

I also understand that there are several degree audit programs on the
market that do a very good job of handling the matching of degree
requirements to student records.

I was interested in hearing any comments or feedback on how you have
written your own Degree Audit program using a relational database, or
interfaced a 4GL with a turnkey degree audit software package.

The following answers apply to Michigan State University:

1.Do you have a formal report/label request procedure?

  Yes, requests for student data (whether recurring or ad hoc) are directed
  to our Registrar's Office for review and approval.

2.Do you require in-person pick-up of output?

  We deliver to authorized college and departmental office locations.
  Delivery to individuals outside the University is accomplished through
  the Registrar's Office.

3.Do you use campus mail to send report/labels with student info?

  No, we provide a separate delivery service (with signed verification of
  receipt).

4.Do you e-mail student info output to internal users?

  Not at this time.
