In Brief December 2011
- During the campus holiday closure, December 23 – January 2, the OIT Help Desk (824-2222) will remain available for urgent support issues, but with limited staffing and potentially longer resolution times.
- For those of you who may end up with new mobile devices (smart phones and tablets) following the holiday season, you may wish to coach gift-givers on the devices which will work well on campus, or review OIT’s mobile set-up documentation.
- You can save money when buying software. If there is an option to get the software by download (as opposed to buying physical media such as CDs), such purchases are not subject to sales tax.
