Trinity College has a thriving and rich computing environment. Documentation for our
major software and systems is provided on-line by the
Computing
Center on the College's World Wide Web server. The College's web
site in general holds a tremendous wealth of information at your fingertips, and
is the recommended way of getting the most up-to-date information.
The Computing Center's collection of
Trinity-specific computing documentation and other information is available on
the Web
at
http://www.trincoll.edu/RaetherCtr/ComputingCenter/. Please
have a look at this vital resource - it will save you a great deal of time in the long
run.
Be sure to read the
Regulations for the Use of
Computing, Communications, and Video Systems at the beginning of this Handbook,
even if you read nothing else. It is your responsibility to use campus computing resources
ethically. Failure to do so may result in the loss of access to important on-line
resources, as well as disciplinary action. Ignorance of the Guidelines is not an
acceptable defense.
Read the Regulations..., and be a good citizen of our electronic community!
The College's World Wide Web server is an electronic
repository of information
about campus life and campus resources, including an up-to-date
campus Calendar.
The complete campus directory is available there, as is the Tripod (the
student newspaper),
course schedules on
TCOnline,
Blackboard course web sites,
Trinity Exchange (the
campus announcement and event posting web site), the
Trinity Portal, info on foreign study and so on. Our Web
server is accessible from all over the Internet. Its Internet address is http://www.trincoll.edu.
Most importantly for current purposes, the campus World Wide Web server contains a
great deal of information from the Computing Center, including the latest version of
this Handbook,
and information about software, networks and other services. It is an excellent place to
begin familiarizing yourself with the campus computing landscape.
Bantam is a "networked share area"
located on a server called Zep. This is a computer storage
facility, very much like a large hard disk, that is made available over the network rather
than residing in your machine. Versions of Bantam exist for both Windows and Macintosh computers. Both are repositories of programs that support computing on campus.
Instructions are
available for accessing
\\Zep\Bantam from both Windows and Mac. If you find you
are having trouble getting access from your dorm computer after following the
instructions, please contact the
Help Desk at x2007 or stop by the office
located on the B Level of the Library & Information Technology Center.
Your main source for information about computing is the campus Web server,
discussed above, at the Computing Center page:
http://www.trincoll.edu/RaetherCtr/ComputingCenter/.
You can print copies of the online docs from your Web browser if desired. Very little
documentation is printed by the
Computing
Center. If you can't locate the specific document that you are looking for, the
Help Desk
on the B level of the Library & Information Technology Center can help you find what you need.
