All resources at http://library.truman.edu/databases/general.htm are available All resources at http://library.truman.edu/newspapers/main.htm are available Most resources at http://library.truman.edu/databases/a-z.htm are available, and we will continue to add resources and check this list.

All of the jstor.org resources are working. |

08/13/2007 | On Sunday, August 12, we will be updating the Banner student module to put into place coding consistent with the new academic structure. This update includes recoding all catalog courses, programs, recruit and applicant curriculums, student curriculums, and faculty home college and departments to the new college/school and department structure.
Many reports listing data by college, department, and major will not have to be changed since the data will continue to flow naturally in the new order. However, some reports handle specific college/department processing and these will need to be changed. Throughout this transition period, we are working to identify reports that need to be modified. If you are concerned about a specific report and whether or not it will continue to function correctly, please have your Division/Department office submit a request to have that report reviewed. Submit these requests to McClain Hall 107 and please include the report name and use this form: https://its.truman.edu/admincomputing/DataRequestFormAppendix10.pdf If you have any questions or concerns about the coding updates to Banner, please contact Tammy Roberts at x4257 or troberts@truman.edu. |
08/13/2007 | Network W: Drive Changes for Academic Reorganization
August 9, 2007 Truman W: drives are a file storage area provided by a Truman file server that allows people in the same work group to store and share files. On Windows based computers a W: drive is automatically provided. Mac and Linux users may also use W: drives, but they have to manually connect. Currently, academic W: drives are assigned to work groups based on Truman academic division. However, due to the Truman academic reorganization these academic divisions no longer exist. Network W: drive assignment (and their organizational structure) must be updated for the academic reorganization. The weekend of August 11th new Banner codes will be activated for the academic reorganization. During this same weekend the network W: drives will be reorganized into a transitional structure. This transitional W: drive structure will allow everyone to continue to have access to all of the W: drive files they have today, but the change will also create new W: drives for the new colleges and departments. All files from the old division W: drives will be available to you during the transition period. During the W: drive transition period all academic W: drives will be mapped to the respective College or School level. The old divisional W: drive data will be available to you as a sub folder of the College or School W: drive. The new department W: drive area will also be available to you as a sub folder. This will allow you to move data from the old divisional W: drive area to your new department W: drive area. If any Deans or Department heads need additional security restrictions on any files or folders please contact ITS and we will work with you to address your needs. Please note, all requests for special security restrictions on W: drive folders need to be approved by the respective Dean or Department head. The transition period for W: drives is scheduled for August 11th through January 6th 2008. During the W: drive transitional period you must move your W: drive data from the old division W: drive areas into the new college and department areas. On January 6th 2008 the old division W: drive areas will be removed. ITS will make every effort to help make the required changes as smooth as possible. If you have any questions or require assistance on any IT related topic please remember we are here to help. Call x4544, email helpdesk@truman.edu, or come by the ITS HelpDesk so we can assist you. Thank you. |
