Carlow IT Department: Bits-N-Bytes Newsletter Fall 2005

Welcome to the Spring 2006 edition of Bits-n-Bytes!

Welcome to the Spring edition of Bits-N-Bytes! This edition highlights many of the 108 projects that the Information Technology Department is undertaking this summer. We will be working on every facet of computing at Carlow, from the network to the web, from the administrative computing system to smart classrooms!

In addition, this edition will highlight some of the larger on-going initiatives including working with the Sisters of Mercy, the Campus School, and the expansion of our wireless network.

If you have any ideas about future projects, please feel free to contact me.

On May 1st, the Media Center implemented a new online request form. This form feeds directly into our request database and will make it easier to track and deliver the 1,700+ orders we receive each academic year. In addition, it allows you to request repeating weekly orders (for an entire semester) with one click.

When you submit your order online, you will receive an email confirmation that your order has been received. Then, once the Media Center personnel determine that the equipment will be available, you will receive a second email to confirm that the order has be scheduled.

Although you may still call the request phone number, we are encouraging requests to be submitted via the web page so that the order is placed accurately. To access the online form, visit:
