The University of California, San Diego is proud of its extensive network of academic information technology (IT) resources. From the moment you first arrive on campus, you can tap into the IT network for help with nearly every aspect of your research, teaching, and public service.

The UCSD Libraries, Academic Computing Services, and Media Center work together closely to make an extensive system of IT resources and services available to UCSD's nearly 50,000 faculty, staff, and students. This volume is intended to provide you with an overview of various information technology offerings available to you across campus. This year's volume includes new information on:

• the Instructional Web Development Center (IWDC)
• video production
• self-serve equipment in classrooms and lecture halls
• student response systems
• course Web pages
• creating a library "PIN"
• connecting to electronic resources from off-campus
• ARTStor

We hope that you share our excitement about the enormous wealth of information technology resources available to the UCSD community, and we trust that this guide will become a well-thumbed addition to your office reference shelf.
