A new
on-campus “portal” page (UniONcampus: http://oncampus.union.edu) gives faculty,
students, and staff quick access to the web tools they use most often. Some of
these tools and links include: Searching the faculty/staff directory, online
forms, campus announcements, and quick links to Human Resources, Schaffer
Library, Information Technology Services, etc.
The
new site is accessible to everyone, on-campus or off-, but some links will be
protected by a username and password (such as Blackboard system). The
“external” home page (www.union.edu) can
easily be reached from oncampus.union.edu, and vice-versa.
“It's like coming into our web site through the kitchen,” said Tom Smith, web site director.
Information
Technology Services is installing oncampus.union.edu as the home page for most
new computers (and upgrades) on campus.
