Announcements

John Sharp has changed positions and is now the Assistant Director, Systems Engineering and
Jason Ottie has left UNF leaving a few open positions in ITS. Currently IT departments are
going through a restructuring process and more information will be available in the near
future.
Michael Kucsak gave kudos to Michael Biagini, Financial Systems and Bill McSherry, ITS for
merging the library's finances into Banner. All of their processes are now automated and our
library is the first of all the Banner SUS schools to accomplish this.
Report: Distance Learning Committee - (Deb Miller)

The DLC has not met since October, but has had discussion about the DL ISQ electronically.
Deb Miller reported that beginning the spring semester, courses designated as Hybrid will use
the DL ISQ and that the DLC will review that instrument in the spring. Meetings for spring
have not yet been scheduled.
Report: Campus Technology Committee - (Terry Cavanaugh)



Still investigating the use of the schedulable computer labs as being resources for testing
centers. All the colleges/departments that replied did want them to have that capability. To
make this happen each of the computer labs will need to install LANSchool or its equivalent
which will restrict internet access.
Professors will serve as proctors.
Looking at Multi-purpose rooms that can be used as testing labs and the CTC is also looking at
locations at the University Center as a remote testing center.
Need to be aware that if you use classrooms, you need to arrange to have custodial services
clean up the rooms and that may have budget implications.
Report: GOT - No Report
Report: Blackboard - (Miller)

Blackboard will be unavailable as scheduled maintenance has been scheduled from December
18th through December 22nd. During the maintenance window, Blackboard will be upgraded
to SP2 and session timeouts will be set back to default as recommended by the vendor to
improve performance. These changes will be communicated to users in a number of ways
when the system comes back up.
Report: IT Security Action Team - (Durfee) - No Report

President's Office web site has been approved by the IPC and is scheduled to go live on
December 14th
Human Resources, CDPT, and EOP web sites are being worked on and will be ready to be
reviewed by the IPC in early January.
After all the President's Office departments have been migrated Academic Affairs will begin the
migration process.
The IPC formed a Sub Committee to take charge of the Apple application iTunesU. That
committee will report back to the IPC
New Business 
Michael Kucsak reported that the current bar code and Mag strip inventory system for the
library is not the most accurate way to take an inventory of UNF Library books, media, etc.
and are looking into RFDI as a new way to manage and track inventory. A vendor demo is
being planned and the committee has discussed a possible ITN for this process. Michael Biagini
has volunteered to work with Michael in the endeavor.
Meeting adjourned at 10:30am.
The next meeting of the University Technology Committee will be held on Monday, January 11, 2010
with the location TBD.
