| Viruses and hoaxes |

| Web Publishing |
| While there is some overlap in service,
each of the servers services a specific community of users. Delivering
computer-based tutorials and other instructional materials is one of the key
functions of Daphne, the central web server for Academic Computing. Daphne,
along with WWW, is a source for information on academic and vocational programs,
college organizations, and faculty & staff WebPages. Faculty and staff
interested in having instructional web content are encouraged to
contact Daphne's administrator, Mr. Terry Gray. Terry may be contacted by email
at
tgray@palomar.edu
,
by phone at ext. 2877, or in person by going to the CAI lab on the first floor
of the Library. Palomar's window to the world wide web is www.palomar.edu , the portal/main web server for the Palomar Community College District. Student Services, Admission and Records, and Human Resources are but a few of the divisions and departments who have effectively used the world wide web to communicate with students, faculty, staff, and the public. Persons interested in having content placed on one of the other servers are urged to contact that web server's administrator. If you are interested in having your own divisional or departmental web server please contact Mr. Terry Gray, tgray@palomar.edu . |
| Discussion Groups - E-mail and Web-based |
| Palomar faculty and staff, along with officially recognized student organizations are offered the opportunity to have e-mail-based (listserv) and/or web-based discussion groups (featuring WebBoard). The discussion group should relate to the academic mission of the college. Please contact Terry Gray if you are interested in listserv service or for web-based discussion Groups. |
| Computer Labs |
|
The college has many
discipline-specific computer labs that are, in general, only open to students
currently enrolled in that discipline's courses. Business, Chemistry, CAD,
Computer Science, Earth Sciences, Electronics, English, and Physics are
PC-based; Art, ESL, Foreign Languages, Journalism, and Music are
Macintosh-based; and Graphic Communications, Math, and Life Sciences use both
(the OS of computer depends on the course). Recognizing the needs of students with disabilities, Palomar College has outfitted the computer labs to meet their needs. There is also an Adapted Computer Center that is designed to explore vocational computer possibilities and to support students as they enter other academic environments. |
