Welcome all to a new
year of computing at the City University of Hong Kong. Many technology
developments are in store that will change the way we teach and
learn and perform our daily work. To meet the increasing demands,
the Computing Services Centre (CSC) is gearing up for a busy year
in anticipation of major computing developments. Some recent enhancements
and forthcoming developments include:
-
This will be the
year that PolyLink makes a big leap to become Web-based.
-
Our Network &
LAN team will roll out the Office 2000 this Semester. The CSC
will work hard to implement the software and provide necessary
support.
-
On-going development
of the CityU Intranet to incorporate users’ requests and
comments.
-
The CSC will continue
to improve the computing facilities in the Student Terminal
Area.
-
The Year 2000 conversion
project is close to completion but the CSC will continue to
ensure that the University is well prepared to traverse the
turn of the millennium.
-
A series of CSC
Forums and Small Talks will be organised to increase users’
awareness on the newest technology. The last series of events
(Sept. 98 – April 99) drew more than 900 attendees (both
staff and students) from all disciplines.
-
Better dial-up services
provided by the new CityLink Plus facility. A dedicated Help
Desk has been set up to answer related queries.
Over the years, the CSC had tried
very hard to improve the quality of services and to keep campus
computing in perspective. We have also made every effort to tell
the entire CityU community what the CSC has to offer through Network
Computing, our quarterly newsletter. If there is anything you
wish to share with us, please feel free to drop us a note at ccnetcom@cityu.edu.hk.
Knowing your thoughts and comments about us is the only way we
can improve ourselves. Until next time, have fun reading!
