The Information Resources Office has announced that it will restructure operations in order to increase efficiency and more effectively serve the SUNY Cortland community.

After reviewing operations following the vacancy of two positions, the Information Resources Office will not fill the director of classroom media services position and direct a portion of this salary savings to elevate the assistant director of administrative computing position, explained Amy Berg, associate provost for information resources.

A search for the new director of networking and telecommunications will begin in the near future. This director will continue the work started by Scott Thomas, assistant director of administrative computing, who left the campus in November to pursue other interests. The director will re-engineer and upgrade the campus data network to achieve a faster, more reliable network for future technologies.  

George Verdow, director of classroom media services, retired in December.

In January Lisa Kahle, director of academic computing, began managing both Academic Computing Services and Classroom Media Services. Her office has moved to Sperry Center, Room 322. Sue Smith, secretary 1, will move to that office on Feb. 8. Kate Hudson, secretary 1, will move to Administrative Computing Services in Winchell Hall, Room 202.  Laurie Klotz, database developer/support technologist, and Mike Yonta, database developer, will continue in their present positions. However, they are now part of the Administrative Computing Services team.

As part of this transition to provide convenient technology support to campus users, the Information Resources Office will open a Technology Help Center in the Library Learning Commons during Summer 2010. As part of the Learning Commons, the Technology Help Center will provide faculty, staff and students with a single point of contact for technology questions.
