Managing Public Computing · 21
2 Two “other staff” not directly responsible for public machines.
3 A variable number of students and/or civil service support staff in a variable number of units perform some types of
public computing support to varying degrees. An average number over a year’s time would be around 3 FTE but could
range from 0 to 6. The number of student employees in the IT unit also varies over the year from 2-8 individuals.
4 (none specified)
5 Support staff in UNIVERSITY IT unit =4. Students employees in UNIVERSITY IT unit =1. We have 2 labs that are
jointly sponsored and staffed by the library and the University IT unit.
6 The University’s central computing division, Academic Information and Communication Technology (AICT), operates
a number of computer labs within various campus libraries and has responsibility for about 200 workstations in the
Knowledge Common, which is also in a library building. The library’s public computers at the one rural campus of the
University are managed by the rural campus’s central IT staff. Library staff are responsible for the remaining 300+
public workstations in eight libraries on or near the main campus. All printing from public workstations, whether in
AICT labs or elsewhere in the libraries, is managed by yet another campus unit, the “ONEcard” office.
7 University Publications Services and University Health Sciences Library (part of the Libraries).
10 I’m counting an unspecified number of staff at the campus IT level who provide networking and server support that,
in turn, supports both staff and public computing.
3. If staff in a unit(s) other than IT provides public computing support, please identify that unit(s).
