It provides a full campus network with outlets in every faculty office and many classrooms, multi-strand fiber connects all buildings on campus, and every academic building has Level 5 wiring capable of handling data speeds up to 100 MHz. Computer Services' Help Desk is available for trouble calls, and the office offers a wide variety of training courses to aid customers in using their computers and the network. This expansion of services has greatly strained the office's resources, and the increasing demand for technology services indicate that further expansion is inevitable. Computer Services must not only maintain and upgrade what is on hand but also must develop further capabilities to support increasing needs for network bandwidth, multimedia capability, compute servers and workstations. The office must not only expand its technological resources, but also its human resources.
Present staff is stretched extremely thin.
To maintain our present services and to expand those services in the future, the office needs added staff. This is its most critical need. Computer Services has established the following long-range objectives, the unifying purposes of which are to maintain UNK's present relative advantage in computer technology and to position the university appropriately to benefit from advances in that technology. The pace of those advances, and the technological potential they hold, require the university to develop an ambitious and flexible strategy that will be adjusted as opportunities arise, as resources permit, and as UNK's mission and capabilities may require. To develop multimedia production capability.
