The Yale University Library Workstation Support Group is part of the Library Systems Office. Current services offered to the Library include:
- Support for the workstation infrastruture across the YUL. Currently supporting over 900 workstations - configuration and management of these machines is coordinated through a WSG-managed OU in the University Active Directory implementation of Windows 2000. The Active Directory implementation allows us to manage access to individual workstations using the University netid.
- Support for the Library Web Developer Community: Including consultation & programming in all web tools currently used in the library. We can assist you with questions concerning: UNIX, HTML, Javascript, Active Server Pages using vbscript or javascript, PHP and Perl. If you'd like to explore an application not currently supported, please e-mail us! We anticipate installing and supporting an Open Source Database solution in the summer of 2002 on www.library.yale.edu.
- Design, implementation and support of web-enabled database applications in support of dynamically generated web sites. Using Microsoft SQL Server - current examples include the Electronic Journals list, Library Staff Directory, Library News, Item Condition Report and Databases & Abstracts. Web-enabled database applications can cut web site support time!
- PC Database development using MS Access.
- Consultation services for the University community on the implementation of Windows 2000 'kiosk' (public-use) workstations. We are happy to answer questions and share our documentation with other University IT staff looking to implement public kiosks.
