1992-1993 Academic Catalog

Training The network has been designed so that most users will be able to learn the network on their own via tutorials and help-screens which explain how to use the programs. Additionally, computer assistants in laboratories and in the residence halls will be available during certain hours. Faculty using specialized software typically orient students in their respective classes. Students find that just getting involved using the network is the best way to learn how to use it. Supplies and Maintenance The college bookstore sells the paper and floppy disks students need to use the network. For security, students are encourage to store their work on their own floppy disks. Technicians from the Computer Services Department provide the technical back-up to keep the system operating. Students who experience problems with the operation of their equipment should contact either the laboratory assistant on duty or the designated residence hall network representative. Some measure of wear and tear is expected from the use of the equipment. Such maintenance is covered through the.netware technology fees. Excessive wear or damage, however, will not be covered. Students who intentionally damage any network equipment will be asked to cover the costs associated with repairing it. Applications As a result of the variety of features and capabilities offered by the network, students from all majors can benefit greatly. A number of specific applications exist.
