Academic Consulting Team

I lead the Academic Consulting Team, and handle the associated administrative duties, including budgetting, scheduling and payroll. The team home page is located at http://www.umanitoba.ca/acn/support/team.html.

I maintain the ACN Support web pages, located at: http://www.umanitoba.ca/acn/support. ACN Consulting services are described in some detail on the Consulting Service web page, located at http://www.umanitoba.ca/acn/support/consult.html.

If you are new to the Fort Garry campus, you might want some help finding our consulting locations. For maps and photographs, see our tour web page, located at http://www.umanitoba.ca/acn/support/tour.html. (This may take a while to load, as it contains many images.)

Consulting Team Staff

Several full time ACN staff participate in Consulting Team Functions. The Consulting Team Leaders also hire and supervise the students who staff ACN's Support Desk and the Computing Lab offices in Machray Hall and the Dafoe basement. These positions are part time casual, and available only to full time University of Manitoba students. Application forms are available from the handout bins outside room 629 Engineering. Applications can be submitted to Room 617 or 628 Engineering. Please include a résumé and append a list of computer systems and software skills, and your current course timetable. Don't forget to note your e-mail address.

The current Consulting Schedule is located at http://www.umanitoba.ca/acn/support/consched.html.

Academic Software Team

I chair the Academic Software Team and handle license administration for instructional and research software on IST systems. I am responsible for overseeing distribution and licensing compliance for those software packages which ACN is permitted to distribute for home or office use by University of Manitoba staff or students.

The Software Team home page is located at http://www.umanitoba.ca/acn/sw-team/team.html.

Many of the microcomputer software packages available under site license agreements are also available on the central Unix system or through the open area microcomputer networks. For information on software availability, see the Software Team Resource list, located at http://www.umanitoba.ca/acn/sw-team/.

Software available for distribution is listed on the web page "How to Find Site Licensed Software", located at http://www.umanitoba.ca/acn/support/software.html.

Computer Reference Books and Manuals

On behalf of ACN, I am responsible for placing a variety of books and software manuals in advising offices, open area manual racks, and campus libraries. I maintain the online book list and the data and programs which generate it.

Course System

I am also responsible for the Course System used by ACN to manage registrations for non-credit courses. This system is documented at http://home.cc.umanitoba.ca/~courses/courses.html.
