Facilitates tracking of PhysIT activity by Physics staff person and their computers. Includes availability of part-time Physics staff, for IT support purposes.
Bob Lieberman gets IT support from CIT
Clarifying that PhysIT does not provide desktop or printer IT support for Bob Lieberman <rhl10>. That support comes from DFA/CIT. Exception: Cornell phone and wired network
Computer inventory extract for Physics
Each December Nancy at Physics reviews computers and newer ones get insured. Thus, can use our inventory data.

FileMaker Pro files in Physics
Ensuring access to old copies of Physics's FMPro files (prior years of students). We have previously transitioned staff access to contemporary files from A&S's FMPro v11 server to A&S's v14 server.
Internet services running out of the Linux Lab
Oliver recommended John Miner confirm continued benefits from the variety of internet services running out of the Linux Lab, taking into account risks to systems (including risk to other systems on the same network.) Especially since are many free CIT alternatives for most, if not all, these services.

Physics Chair's computer and its IT support
Barry (LASSP) provides IT consulting support for the Chair's computer. However, PhysIT provides services in Physics Admin which the Chair depends on (network, printers, monitor) so this clarification can be helpful.

Physics various web sites
This page tries to identify the non-research web sites in Physics. And who supports them.
- Lecture demo web site — Oliver recommended actions to ensure continued access, along with possible enhancements, to <http://www.physics.cornell.edu/lecdemo http://www.physics.cornell.edu/lecdemo>, using free CIT consulting and hosting services.
- pages.physics.cornell.edu and others — Grad's Linux lab folks run various web sites, including computing.physics.cornell.edu, pages.physics.cornell.edu, www.eyh.cornell.edu (Expand Your Horizons)
- Physics web site — A&S Commumications group is helping to support the site's content, with back-up from CIT if necessary. Barry hosts the infrastructure, as a favor, until the site is migrated to A&S's up-coming Drupal infrastructure.
- phystec.physics.cornell.edu — Physics department asked us how this web site was hosted so they could change some text on one of its pages. (A&S Comm couldn't help them, apparently.)
