Program Descriptions<br />

Presentation 3E: (wiki + ResTechs) = (fresh documentation + organic knowledge management + good,cheap technical writers)<br />

Presenter/Institution: Niki Serakiotou (Rice <strong>University</strong>)<br />

Format: Lecture<br />

<strong>The</strong>me: Cool Tools<br />

Technical level: 2<br />

Location: Tilley 223<br />

Description: Rice <strong>University</strong> IT adopted a wiki to use as a tool for internal documentation and for presenting content to the campus.<br />

<strong>The</strong> internal documentation was to include infrastructure configurations, internal procedures and organizational information. <strong>The</strong><br />

“public” content to be presented to the campus would be replacing parts <strong>of</strong> our website, FAQs and guides and tutorials. In this<br />

presentation I will discuss<br />

- How to allocate spaces and permissions within a wiki tool to enable student workers contribute to and maintain technical<br />

documentation.<br />

- How to structure the pages to enable navigation.<br />

- How to use plugins to feed reference materials.<br />

- What techniques have worked (and what has not worked) to encourage participation from peers in It and from Restechs<br />

Presentation 4B: Back it up, Bucknell<br />

Presenter/Institution: Bud Hiller (Bucknell <strong>University</strong>)<br />

Format: Lecture<br />

<strong>The</strong>me: <strong>ResNet</strong> Operations<br />

Technical level: 2<br />

Location: Singer 161<br />

Description: All schools deal with copyrighted content on student computers throughout the course <strong>of</strong> the year. At Bucknell, we<br />

provide full service at our tech desk for student computers, which includes s<strong>of</strong>tware and hardware diagnosis, and which regularly<br />

requires re-imaging <strong>of</strong> the computer. <strong>The</strong> issue <strong>of</strong> what to do with many gigs <strong>of</strong> copyrighted material on student computers is a<br />

thorny one. In order to better serve the student population, we have instituted a Back it up, Bucknell campaign. <strong>The</strong> purpose <strong>of</strong> this<br />

campaign is to better prepare students for that day when their hard drive dies or their computer slows beyond the point <strong>of</strong> repair.<br />

<strong>The</strong> drive has 2 main points: back up your academic documents on Bucknell's 600mb <strong>of</strong> server space and back up your photos, music<br />

and movies on an external hard drive. <strong>The</strong> word is spread through bookmarks , radio interviews, print ads (student newspaper),<br />

posters, YouTube, Bucknell's web page, portal, and ITS Blog<br />
