Desktop Services: Discussions

This page contains links to Desktop Services' on-line discussions on IT-related topics. Most topics are focused on CUL's endowed libraries and units.

NOTE: We've received numerous reports that Netscape Navigator 4.08 fails to work at the QuickTopic sites below. Various versions of Microsoft's Internet Explorer (IE) seem to work just fine. Also, Netscape Communicator 4.7 and higher seem OK, but are used far less. Please report any problems to your local IT staff support provider. If they can't resolve your access problem, please let me (Oliver) know so I can post warnings here. Thanks!

Library staff, either representing their units or other stakeholders, are invited to participate. If you have any questions, please direct them to Oliver Habicht, <oh10>, 5-4673. Thank you!
