The Fall Tech Express

Introduction

fall tech express

The Tech Express is a series of user-friendly brown-bag sessions on computing at Stanford. These sessions, held from 12:00 to 1:00 P.M and led by knowledgeable ITSS staff, are intended to meet the needs of Stanford staff, but are open to everyone, including faculty and students. No registration is required – come by and learn something new! Bring your lunch! Bring your questions! Drinks and cookies provided.

Fall Tech Express sessions will be held Thursdays in Turing Auditorium (Polya Hall, Room 111).

The success of these sessions depends on you! Questions from attendees are strongly encouraged. Topics are announced in advance through the techexpress mailing list and on this web page.

Feel free to contact the Tech Express coordinator with your questions or suggestions. Call Phyllis Olrich at 725-1541 or send email to techexpress-owner@lists.stanford.edu.

Sundial Tips & Tricks

Have you been using the new Stanford-wide Sundial calendar for awhile? Have you wanted to use it but haven't gotten around to it yet? Are you moving to Sundial from another calendaring system? Are you confused about the terminology used in Sundial? Do you have questions about the calendar's features? Then this session is for you! Mark Branom will review such topics as getting started, meetings, resources, groups, setting preferences and access rights, and dealing with other people's agendas. There will also be time to answer your questions. You are encouraged to go to http://calendar.stanford.edu before attending this Tech Express to download the Sundial client to your desktop and familiarize yourself with the calendar by reading the Quick Start Guide and/or viewing the How To Videos.

Software Licensing and Purchasing at Stanford

Stanford Procurement and ITSS Software Licensing team up to explain the ins-and-outs of software purchasing at Stanford. Find out answers to questions such as: What is the least expensive way to buy Microsoft and Adobe products? How can a faculty member get that special software he needs for his teaching or research? Can students buy software for their personal use? Join us for answers to these and other software-related questions and learn what our departments can offer you! Download Robin's PowerPoint presentation here.
