April 19, 2005 -- Printing Not Working on Public Computers
While printing is working for the Access Plus machines in the library (the computers that require a UW Net ID), it is not working for the public computers in the library (the computers that do not ask for a UW Net ID), nor for any such computers campus-wide. Technology Services is working to fix this problem.

PC #19, the station for the library's CD-ROM databases CorpTech EXPLORE, Datastream, the Importer and Exporter Directory Indexes, Mediamark, Morningstar Principia Plus, and Simmons Choices III, has been repaired and is back in place--but only three databases are operable: Mediamark, Morningstar, and Simmons Choices III. Printing is not yet working but students can download data to Excel, save to diskette, and print off other computers in the library.

"On April 7, each team will be given a business case -- a problem scenario for which they must develop a solution within 48 hours -- and then present their conclusions to a panel of corporate judges. Teams will be judged on quality, creativity and professionalism in presenting their analysis of the business problem. Final rounds will be held April 9 between 1:45 and 5 p.m. in Mary Gates Hall on the UW campus and are open to the public. The winning team will be announced at an awards banquet that evening."
