Staff IT support and services |
DS |
Through a unit re-organization in mid-February, Desktop Services transitioned from having a single, dedicated IT service provider assigned to each Library unit to a unified team-based Help Desk. As a result of this change, we improved service responsiveness to Library staff IT requests and reinforced common standards of practice within our group. The change enabled us to implement an issue tracking system and facilitated the developed of internal procedures and documentation, improving our effectiveness. We directly support approximately 300 Library staff, plus student staff, representing almost 400 staff desktop and laptop computers in units residing within six campus buildings. |
Provisioning public computers |
DS |
Of the approximately 200 desktop public computers Desktop Services maintains in a dozen buildings across campus, we replaced over 90 computers this past summer as part of our regular 4-year public computer replacement schedule. We also replaced, and expanded by over 30 laptops, the public loaner laptop program's 3-year old laptops with 75 laptops in seven libraries (increased from five libraries). Uris Library still has over 30 loaner laptops, and Olin Library now loans out an additional 30 laptops. We are also replacing the last of the public CRT monitors with contemorary LCD monitors, and are pleased to report that our public monitors are now established on a regular replacement schedule. |
Staff computer and monitor replacements |
DS |
We successfully completed the replacement of a backlog of approximately 50 old staff computers, catching us up with our standard 4-year computer replacement schedule this year (approximately 100 staff systems to be replaced each year). In the spring we entered the third year of our planned five year CRT-to-LCD staff monitor replacement program, during which we deployed so many extra staff LCDs that we'll be able to complete the upgrade program a full year earlier than planned. |
