Important Message!

 

It is illegal to host or distribute copyrighted materials without permission.  This includes images, software, MP3 music files, video files, etc.  Copyright holders, particularly from the music industry are very aggressively tracking down, identifying and prosecuting those who are sharing MP3 files. BU regularly receives notifications that network addresses traceable to our university are involved in the illegal sharing of copyrighted materials.  BU can trace these addresses directly to residence hall rooms.  In cooperation with University Police and Residence Life staff, OT has established due process procedures for terminating user access to network services until the files in question are removed or the activity ceases.

2) Networking and Operations-Provides network services and maintains network equipment and applications.

3) Technology Support Services-Provides desktop support for faculty/staff offices, computers in classrooms, labs and residence halls as well as for instructional media presentation systems (IMPS).

4) Telecommunication-Provides telephone services and maintains the physical data and telecommunication infrastructure.

The Office of Technology also collaborates with technology specialists in Andruss Library, Performing Arts, the Department of Instructional Technology and Residence Life.

Go ahead, Cut the Wires! Wireless Internet Access around campus.

Bloomsburg University supports an 802.11B/G wireless network in most academic buildings including: Andruss Library, Bakeless, Centennial, Hartline, Haas, McCormick, Nelson, Old Science and Sutliff. Wireless connectivity is also available in Ben Franklin Hall, Kehr Union, Monty’s and the Robert D. Warren Student Services Center.

The wireless network will allow anyone with a wireless (WiFi) equipped laptop and a university account access to all network services, including the internet, without plugging into a network jack.
