On April 28, computer support providers from departments, offices, and labs will join staff from Information Systems for a half-day conference on current technology issues. The support providers participate in a special program on campus called IT Partners.
Newcomers are welcome.
IT Partners offers extensive support and training opportunities for self-selected members of the MIT community who provide computing help to faculty, staff, and students in their local area. The program promotes information sharing and cooperative efforts to resolve technical problems. Members of IT Partners find that they benefit from a closer working relationship with their peers. While IS provides a range of services to the MIT community, it recognizes that local support providers need additional technical information and organizational support to get their work done. IS has sponsored IT Partners for many years, and provides several benefits to its participants.
