A Word from the Head of Department

Open or locked IFT? UoB is, as you may have read in P Hyden, now considering locking all university facilities so that everyone would need to use a keycard to obtain access to these facilities. This will not be a problem for the students and the employees, but the challenge will then be all other visitors as one will need a receptionist who will let the visitors inside the facilities. At IFT video-surveillance was installed nearly three years ago as an alternative to provide better security. This has led to a significant reduction in the number of break-ins.

IFT will be expressing its opinion on this case. Students or employees with strong opinions regarding this issue are kindly asked to contact Grete or me during this week.

The theme series from the IT-dept., nr. 4: Print-out services

At a scientific institution as the University of Bergen, the print-out services are important for both students and employees. The development was focused on, among others, better quality and more flexible services. Environment and economical concerns have also led to the fact that these services are now being changed.

Print-out, copying, scanning and optical character recognition are among those services that are now under our print-out services. In the IT-departments new number in the theme series you can read more on these services. You may perhaps find something you did not know you were wondering.
