Technology Support

IRIS IT support is provided by local IT support providers that are coordinated by the IT committee and the Technology Support Team (TST). Local support providers (formerly “netadmins”) assess and troubleshoot computer and network problems within their assigned area. If they are unable to resolve a problem, they will contact their assigned TST member. TSTs will provide an effective and consistent technical assistance throughout IRIS. This will permit D-LITs Desktop Services (DS) to concentrate on Endowed-CUL-wide standardized solutions and support the public computing infrastructure.

For IRIS staff to report Computer/Network Problems

  1. Contact your department's Local IT Support Provider.
  2. If your local support provider is unavailable, contact your department's assigned TST member.
  3. If your TST member is unavailable, contact the TST at CUL-IRIS-TST-L@cornell.edu or 254-7424

  4. Beeper: if you can't get a hold of anyone via the other methods call the beeper - dial 4-7243. The system will then prompt you to enter the pager number. That number is 6982.
