Academic Computing Services seeks to foster the educational use of computing and information technology. Our services are available to students, faculty, staff, and research teams without charge. All faculty and students may use university computing facilities for unfunded, unsponsored activities subject only to availability; special facilities are available for course based activities.

One of our goals is "computing across the curriculum," enabling the use of information technology in research, study, scholarship, teaching, and professional communication and collaboration. Another is helping students and faculty to develop their own expertise in computing technology to strengthen their own activities; we are particularly interested in assisting the use of professional tools and primary data resources in the undergraduate curriculum. Believing that "we ain't seen nothing yet", we are especially interested in developing partnerships with faculty and students to explore and develop brave new computing worlds.

Projects and activities that we (co)sponsor include:

• orientations and presentations to classes, departments, or research teams, with a recent focus on the use of electronic mail and news for course support.

• one on one consulting especially in the use of algorithms, methods, portability of code and data, and access to supercomputing resources,

• help in developing presentation materials for lecture, seminars, or publication,

• co-authoring papers with faculty and graduate students

• an Advanced Resource Facility with some of the latest hardware and software, featuring audio, video, and image facilities.

• a quarterly computing newsletter highlighting news, developments, and activities of general interest,

Special facilities for academic computing include:

• A wide range and rapidly evolving set of services based on IBM RS/6000 Power Architecture.

• a MS-Windows teaching lab in Waterman

• a Macintosh teaching lab in Waterman

• the Advanced Resource Facility in Waterman

• internet connections to the galaxy
