IS&T Spotlight:
Come to IS&T's Open House in the New N42 Walk-in Center
Information Services and Technology (IS&T)
invites all members of the MIT community to an Open House on Thursday,
October 28 from
noon to 5 pm. The festivities will be held in the combined walk-in
center for clients in Building
N42 at 211 Massachusetts Avenue. Stop by the N42 lobby for light refreshments and to meet IS&T
staff. You can also talk to representatives from Apple Computer,
GovConnection, and other vendors, and take a look at current recommended
hardware. Last but not least, try your luck by entering the Open
House drawing: you might win one of the hourly door prizes.
A Combined Service Center
The Open House is one way of raising awareness about IS&T's
combined walk-in service center for clients. As part of a strategic
effort to give campus computer users one place to come for hardware-
and software-related advice, IS&T services previously available
in the lower level of the Student Center (W20) have been relocated
to the front area of Building N42 – joining forces with the Computing
Help Desk. In this single location, clients will be able to
- Meet with consultants for hardware and software repair
- Look at demonstration models and discuss new computer purchases
with consultants
- Take care of computing account activities such as password
resets
- Pick up requested copies of volume-licensed software
- Receive directions and contacts for other IS&T activities,
meetings, and consultations
Other IS&T activities have also been relocated
from W20 to N42 – for example, the Athena Consultants and Athena
Cluster Services.
Getting in Touch
Contact information for the groups that have relocated to N42 remain
the same, and directory and service
information on the IS&T web pages have been updated.
