ITS UPDATE: TH Outage; Clickers; Microsoft Software Purchases

Town Home Outage
At 9:08 pm last night network connectivity was lost to the Town Homes.  The circuit breaker had been tripped and the network equipment ran on the UPS until that battery power ran out.  The breaker was reset at 11:17 pm and network service to the Town Homes was restored.
 
Clickers
Clickers for classroom use can now be checked out from Oesterle Library.  ITS worked with the Library staff to provide this convenience.  Please remember that you will also need software loaded on your PC so that you can prepare the classroom presentations.  Please contact ITS for that installation.
 
Microsoft Software Purchases
The Federation of Illinois Independent Colleges and Universities has partnered with Microsoft and Campus Technology to help reduce the cost of Microsoft software for students, faculty, and staff through a group-purchasing agreement.  The Microsoft Student and Faculty/Staff Select Agreement reduces prices and in addition, allows you to own the software forever, even if you leave employment.
 
The software prices listed below translates into a savings of 85% off the Academic Full Packaged Product.  Software available includes:
 
Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2007   costs $84.85
