A Very COVID Commencement

By Jeané Blunt. Last April, most of us were adjusting to the stay-at-home order, trying to set up a workspace in our home, or watching COVID-19 news 24/7. Dani Barker and her team were doing the same. The only difference is they were also trying to figure out how to plan a graduation for thousands of UC Santa Cruz students, in less than two months, while adhering to the new

Anna Sackmann co-authored this post with Amy Neeser. Libraries have historically served as a hub for access to technology by providing publicly available computers with access to the Internet and workshops on technology topics.

Supporting the Tech behind Campus COVID-19 Testing

COVID-19 presented UCR with many new challenges. Access to technology that allows us to continue to learn, teach, and work remotely is now a requirement rather than a convenience, and ITS is proud to have helped mobilize campus in the face of unforeseen time and resource limitations. As essential campus work and research continued, however, UCR also recognized the need to implement on-site COVID-19 testing technology. In September ITS was engaged by Dr. Kenneth Han of Student

Making Allyship Actionable: UCI Women in Tech Webinar

By Katie Chappell. Many of us consider ourselves allies to underrepresented groups.

A recent event hosted by Women in Technology at UCI, featuring author and speaker Karen Catlin, aimed to provide guidance for real and daily actions each person can take to become

Backup Your Files on World Backup Day

By Jeané Blunt and Robert Smith. Today, March 31, is World Backup Day. It serves as a reminder to backup (or create a second copy of) all important files. At one time of another, we’ve all experienced data loss—whether a computer crashed while writing a paper, a phone fell in the pool, or a USB drive was misplaced. Data loss can be devastating, but it’s also completely avoidable. Backup Personal
