ITS announces new services for fall that will improve faculty and student computing access. Two new web services will support academic and personal web and file storage. The academic service will provide web space for faculty sites, course sites for materials used over multiple semesters, and course sites for activities in a particular semester.
Space is available for student or faculty use only.
The service provides 50 megabytes of personal storage accessible from the ITCs or home through a web interface without advertising. Beginning fall semester, ITC users will be required to enter a HawkID, consisting of a username and password, to log on to the network. HawkID will help prevent abuse of campus networking resources and will keep account of an individual's printouts, replacing the old system of punch or magnetic cards. The ITCs will undergo an upgrade to Windows 2000 and Office 2000. All standard ITC software has been tested.
