We flipped the switch!

Flipping the switch.A version of the college website for phones is now live.

Just today we flipped a switch that checks if people are visiting our website on a phone. If so, they get prompted to select between continuing on to the regular site or the “mobile” site. A user’s preference will be saved for 30 days, but the option to go to the “full version” is always there.

Earlier today we notified users of our web content management system about this and let them know what it means for their work.

One thing it means, is that now we will be turning our attention to implementing the new version of our web content management system.

 

UPDATE: Network Maintenance Notice

TSS will be conducting maintenance on the core network switch on Friday, April 11, at 5 p.m.  All network resources will be down for approximately 10 minutes while the system restarts.

Office 2013 will be the Campus Norm by Fall

Microsoft Office 2013 is coming to campus! Some faculty and staff may already have the latest version of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, and Outlook. Here are some links to videos about what’s new for each program:

The videos range between 2-4 minutes and cram in many of the new features. If the movie mentions a topic of interest, search for the topic at http://support.microsoft.com for more tips to utilize that feature.
 
If you don’t have Office 2013 yet, it is likely that you will by Fall 2014.
