Another new structure for communication which we introduced this summer is, in contrast to our WebSite, very low tech. We have placed a white board at the entrance to the CIMC to inform our clients of workshops, tours, classes and other events scheduled in the CIMC each day. One way which we have of encouraging you to communicate with us is our comments form. Two articles in this newsletter demonstrate the value of communication. The change in hours for the CIMC is in response to comments from users.
Communication is defined as to share in common, to participate in.
In order to better meet the needs of School of Education students and area educators who wish to use our facility during campus breaks, the CIMC will also be adjusting hours during those time periods. CIMC hours during break periods will remain at 40 hours per week but will be changed during those time periods when the university calendar and the Madison Metropolitan School Calendar differ. This change in hours will be evaluated at the end of the 1999-2000 fiscal year to determine whether these hours better meet the needs of our clients. If you want an easy and effective way for classes to complete projects, share resources, and publish information on the World Wide Web, consider using FirstClass. This e-mail, conferencing, and collaboration service is available to faculty members or teaching assistants.
