There are a variety of technology support units on campus that support retired and emeritus faculty and staff. The Teaching and Technology Collaborative (TTC) provides a list of resources and contact information and as long as you retain a University of Michigan uniqname (or acquire a friend account), you can take advantage of many services. These include: University Library Knowledge Navigation Center and Faculty Exploratory: The Knowledge Navigation Center consultants are available to retired faculty and staff and can help with a variety of topics including scanning, creating a website, or using EndNote or RefWorks for your continued research. The Faculty Exploratory also offers consulting on similar topics but is only open to faculty, including retired faculty. Its workshops are sometimes open only to faculty and sometimes are open to all faculty, staff, and students, including those who are retired. The descriptions of the workshops will specify any restrictions. Information Technology Central Services: Again, as long as you retain a University of Michigan uniqname (or acquire a friend account), you can take any non-credit computing course or arrange for one-on-one training. Note that there is a fee for these services. In addition, phone help is available at 764-HELP. Digital Media Commons: Anyone with a uniqname is supported equally, so anyone can use CTools or UM.Lessons. Requests to use SiteMaker are directed to the individual's home school or college for approval. Language Resource Center: There is no change in privileges for retired or emeritus faculty, though a U of M uniqname is required to access online material, and an ID card is required to check out material. If a U of M account is lacking, guest accounts are available for access to basic services. |
