I cannot print off of my SSC account even though I know I deposited money on my account before. What's wrong?

Make sure that you are logged into your own account when you are printing. If you deposited money on the account during a previous quarter, your account was reset and you must notify the consultants at the front desk so they can transfer your previous balance over. Also, if it says you have money on your account when you rollover the $ sign, make sure that it is not a negative number. The End.

I'm a TA, but why doesn't my name show up on my Social Sciences class website?

Teaching Assistants (TA) names will show up on Social Sciences Moodle class websites the next time they log in after their names go in the Registrar’s database for their specific sections. Usually the delays are because TAs haven’t given the specific sections they are teaching to their department’s scheduler.

Access to the private areas of class websites and the ability to create TA sites is granted almost immediately after the TA name and sections are added into the Registrar database.

Collecting Obsolete Media Readers

As part of our preservation work at the Social Science Data Archive we sometimes have to pull data off of obsolete media, such as floppy and zip disks. To facilitate this we’ve been scavenging and collecting obsolete media equipment. I’m sure we aren’t the only unit on campus doing this so I’m posting the list of what we currently have in the archive in case someone else might need to read media that requires these readers:

  1. iomega zip/100 USB interface,
  2. teac 3.5 floppy disk drive; 720KB / 1.25MB / 1.44MB ( formatted ); USB 1 interface,
  3. Sony 3.5 floppy disk drive, USB2

I also have a couple of obsolete video formats at home: hi8 and VHS.

Please feel free to add other equipment to this list.

Setting up a personal website at UCLA

There are several services at UCLA that allows students, staff, or faculty to set up personal websites.

Bruin OnLine (BOL) webspace:

Your BOL account (which is the UCLA school-wide username and password that all UCLA people have) comes with 100MB of webspace for you to use. For details, see this page . The address of your website will be of the format http://yourUCLAusername.bol.ucla.edu/. You do not have the ability to run your own server-side scripts on this webspace.

SEASnet (Engineering school computer system) webspace:

If you have a SEASnet account (all Engineering students, staff, and faculty, and students who are taking engineering classes are eligible for a SEASnet account), then you can set up a webspace on your SEASnet account file space. For instructions, see this page . The address of your website will be of the format http://www.seas.ucla.edu/~yourSEASusername/. I believe that you also do not have the ability to run your own server-side scripts on this webspace.

Other:

Many departments have their own computer account systems that they offer to their members (especially for grad students and faculty). Typically, if these are Unix/Linux clusters, they run a web server that allows you to put a special folder in your home directory (like “www” or “public_html”) that will be accessible from something like http://whatever.ucla.edu/~yourusername/. Check with your department for more information. The individual department systems are too numerous to list here.

What is ucla.in?

http://ucla.in is a service, similar to tinyurl.com, that allows users to shorten a long link, share it, and then track the resulting usage, while keeping the ucla name as part of the link. While other link-shortening services exist such as http://bit.ly, only http://ucla.in keeps the ucla name as part of the link.

For example, you can use ucla.in to turn this long link:

http://map.ais.ucla.edu/portal/site/UCLA/menuitem.b67ecc2ab4bd59c1ae13e110f848344a/?vgnextoid=38b9f9c37ed01210VgnVCM100000e1d76180RCRD

Into this:

http://ucla.in/92d9Sz

This makes it easier to include the link in an email or Twitter post without it breaking or taking up too much space.

For more info, go to: http://ucla.in and especially look at their FAQ

Update: There is now an API for programmers to use this. See http://www.ucla.edu/uclain/docs/api/ Thanks to Matthew Geddert and the Office of Residential Life for
taking the time to create and debug the API.

Video Furnace for Senior Scholars

Unfortunately, you can’t watch video furnace links from off campus the way students can. You will have to come to campus and go to the CLICC Lab in the Powell Library Building or SSC Lab in the Public Affairs Building 2041. You should be able to get a lab ID at SSC to login to watch the videos.

Please note that for CLICC, you will need a UCLA Logon ID. CLICC cannot create a UCLA Logon for you.

Karen Rushfield may have more information about getting a UCLA Logon ID or you may visit "http://www.bol.ucla.edu/

You can find out more information about the CLICC Lab here: http://www.clicc.ucla.edu/

UC Learning Center

The UC Learning Center is a learning management system (LMS) for employee training.

UC Learning Center features include:

The UC Learning Center can be accessed at: http://lms.ucla.edu (UCLA Logon ID required).

A help guide is available at: http://www.chr.ucla.edu/chr/portaldocs/trng/trngdoc-lms-help-guide.pdf.

UCLA Campus Human Resources implemented the UC Learning Center for CHR and CHR-managed training during March 2010.

Q: I’m a professor – can the LMS be used to host my course?

A: No. The UC license for the LMS covers only UC employees as learners in the LMS. In some cases, student workers are considered UC employees so they may be required to complete work-related training via the LMS.

Q: What’s the difference between Moodle and the LMS?

A: Moodle is a course management system available on campus for academic courses and projects. Please see the About CCLE page (https://ccle.ucla.edu/course/view/aboutccle?section=0) for more information.

Q: Can my group use the LMS for training?

A: The initial campus rollout allowed all UCLA employees to register for courses offered by Campus Human Resources. Other training providers interested in adding their courses to the catalog and managing employee training through the UC Learning Center should contact training@chr.ucla.edu.

Q. What happened to SkillNet?

A. After ten years of faithful service, SkillNet was retired in March 2010. All training completions were migrated from SkillNet into the UC Learning Center and are available in individual users’ training transcripts.

What is the difference between BruinCast and UCLA on iTunes U?

Here are the main differences between the Office of Instructional Development’s BruinCast service and UCLA on iTunes U:

BruinCast also offers both streaming media (via Real) and audio podcasts. If the content is available via podcasting, like with UCLA on iTunes U, users can subscribe and have content automatically delivered upon publication.

For more information regarding BruinCast, please see:

Email Record Retention

According to UCLA Policy 455:
“University Records management policies do not distinguish among media with regard to the definition of University Records. As such, Electronic Mail Records are subject to these policies.”

Printing from OASIS

OASIS (Online Administrative Systems Information Services) is the system used for the administration of UCLA. There are several avenues users can take to retrieve reports entered into this system. The one being discussed in this article is for those items that require a special setup between AIS (Mainframe) Computer and the user’s printer.

AIS currently supports mainframe connectivity for over 800 printers campus-wide, allowing departments to DPRs, IDOC, and RDS reports (Note1, see below) on local printers. These printers can be connected to anything that can run lpd / Unix print services (OS X, Linux, Unix, Novell etc.), but the only thing AIS is able to provide troubleshooting support for is Windows 2000/2003.

All requests for OASIS remote printing MUST be made via e-mail to the AIS Help Desk with the required information:

Requestor’s Name,
Department,
Phone Extension,
Server IP Address,
Printer Queue Name,
Type of printer,
Server Network Operating System (Novell/Unix/Windows),
Type of printing desired (RDS, IDOC or DPRs/Transcripts)

Additional information is needed if the setup is for DPRs/Transcripts, the Registrar’s Office requires the information of the person doing the printing:
(Note: The Registrar’s Office reserves the right to decline the request if the user is not already setup for this type of printing)

User’s Name,
OASIS logon Id,
Phone Extension,
Department,

Once all the pieces have been completed for your request, the requestor will be notified via e-mail and the printer id will be provided.

Note1: RDS has a web base counterpart that does not require this type of setup. It is called Document Direct or DDI.

AIS Help Desk – helpdesk@ais.ucla.edu – 310/(20)6-6951

How to add R printer for Idoc printing.

Thanks to AIS for all their help!

PRINTING EMPLOYEE INFORMATION

Before printing any of the employee information, a printer must be selected.

-Selecting a Printer

(Note: If you will always be printing at the same printer, this step needs to be taken only once – the first time you want to print a document)

Logon onto OASIS.

Enter PPP to access Personnel/Payroll

Enter UCSA to access the System Administration Menu or enter IDDB to access the Department EDB Inquiry Menu.

Enter PRNT to access the Printer Selection Menu.

The cursor will be positioned in the “Number of copies” field. If you wish to print more than one copy, change the number and press enter. Otherwise, just TAB to the next field.

If the printer is listed on the first page of the Printer Selection Menu, skip to the next step. Otherwise, use the F8 key to scroll forward until the printer you wish to select is displayed on the screen.

This is where you will see your "R"xxxx printer listed.

Use the TAB key to position the cursor in the Selected Printer column next to the printer you wish to select and press the “Enter” key.

A message should be displayed that the “Input is Accepted”. Press the F9 key to update. This printer will remain as your selected printer until you select a different printer.

Request iDOC printer to be created

Does a user need to print IDOCs? Does the department/user not have a "R"xxxx printer?

Users have the ability to print IDOCs from the campus EDB system.

A laser printer hooked directly to your parallel port, or a printer with a network adapter is required by AIS.

First, always call AIS Helpdesk to confirm if that department/user/printer is already in the system to print. With an IP address they can find that “R” printer for you. If none is available, one can be requested:

Email this info to the AIS Helpdesk.

The server IP address of the printer :
The queue name of the printer :
The type of printer, HP etc … :
The type of NOS; network operating system :
The type of remote printer access requested: DPRs/Transcript, IDOCs , RDS :
User’s logon id :
CSC name :
Department :
Phone number :

You’ll need to allow inbound traffic from the ais mainframe (164.67.134.200) to your print server on port 515

Second Life on CLICC computers

To use Second Life on CLICC PC desktops, CLICC recommends the following:

On your own computer or a computer on which you are at least a local administrator, please do the following:

Download Second Life(SL) zipped files to an external drive such as USB flash drive (minimum 1 GB available space).

Unzip the files and run the install to the USB flash drive, not the
computer.

If you are already on a CLICC Computer, please note that only the CLICC Classroom Coordinator can perform the above steps for you.

Following the install, a folder entitled ‘Second Life’ will be created
on the USB flash drive which will contain an .exe file for launching
SL.

Copy the above folder to the CLICC computer’s W:\ drive or Workspace.

NetSupport School Tutor on the classroom instructor station may be used to push the folder out to the classroom computer’s W:\ drive.

Once the folder is copied to the CLICC computer, browse to the folder, find the .exe and
launch SL.

MedNet is a colloquial term used to refer to the UCLA Health System and UCLA School of Medicine network. Certain applications can only be accessed when on “MedNet” (on an IP address in that range), or using VPN.

Java incompatibilites with AIS Document Direct

Users unable to access AIS Document Direct due to Java errors likely have a workaround from AIS:

https://ucla.service-now.com/kb_view.do?sysparm_article=KB0010708

This is likely due to Java version incompatibilities with the latest versions of Java installed on end-user systems. Please ensure your end users are on the latest version of Java, have pop-ups disabled for the AIS site ( https://ddi.ais.ucla.edu ), and give the AIS application permission to run.

OASIS shortcut for Host Explorer 15

By default, Host Explorer 15 does not automatically start OASIS like in Host Explorer 9. If your only reason to connect to zos.ais.ucla.edu is for OASIS access, you can save a step by creating a keystroke script in Host Explorer.

Create a new quick script to run when starting Host Explorer

Open Connection Central
Quick Scripts > Open any one of the existing scripts
File > New
Select Quick Script type: 3270
Commands > Send keystrokes
Enter oasis
Click OK
Repeat, and from Category, select Action Keys
Select Enter and click Insert. Click OK
The script should now look like:

Send keystrokes: oasis, 0
Send keystrokes: [Enter], 0

Save the quick script as something like “oasis auto start”
Go to your zos.ais.ucla.edu connection
Open Properties
Connection > Other
For Auto start Quick-Key/Quick Script/Macro, browse and select the script you created
Click OK

Hope this helps. (Credit to the SSC Support staff).

Getting Apple TV installed on Campus Wireless

This is a question that I hope to edit into a useful article but need some help!

We would like to deploy Apple TV in rooms that have campus wireless, but my understanding is that the wireless infrastructure would need to be modified – something about Aruba hardware?

Anyone know who to talk to at ITS to learn more?

Faculty profile editing - uploading files to Drupal

Faculty, graduate students, and others may have web-based profiles on Drupal based sites.

Particularly for the publications section of user pages, uploading files is important.

To upload files, using Geography website profiles as an example:

Please note many sites are limited to UCLA networks only, if you are off campus you may need to connect to the UCLA VPN first.

  1. Login via the Login link at the very bottom of the footer on the main page. Please note that if you are having trouble logging in, you may need to be connected to a UCLA network.
  2. This will go to the login screen. Login with your appropriate login information. After a successful login, note the black bar with your user name and additional commands now visible at the top and bottom of the screen.
  3. Navigate to where the user profile pages are located— under the Geography website example, they are located under the People tab, then go to the appropriate section.
  4. When at the appropriate section where your profile is located, navigate to your own profile and click on your specific profile page. In this example, we use a Grad Student Profile. If there are lots of users with profiles, you may need to scroll until you see your user profile.
  5. Once on your own profile page, you should now see a (potentially hard to read) row of tabs that contain additional commands. The View tab is selected by default.
  6. Please click on the Edit tab to load the editing view of your profile page.

  7. Scroll down to the section you wish to add a file to. In this example, we want to add descriptive text and file to the Publications section.
  8. Type in your text, then select the words you would like to make a link for your file. Then click on the button that looks like a chain link. Note that in the previous step, the link button is disabled (greyed out); once you select text, it becomes enabled.
  9. This will cause the Insert/Edit Link window to appear. (Note: if you just wish to insert a link at this stage, you may insert a link URL in this window and then skip most of the remaining steps.)
  10. To upload a file, click on the file browser button to the right of the Link URL line.
  11. The File Browser window appears. Note the file location— standard users are limited to only their user directory.
  12. Click on the Upload button at the top left to open the Upload window.
  13. Click on Add Files to open a file browsing dialog, navigate to the file you wish to upload on your computer, and hit _Open. In this example, we will upload sample_file.pdf
  14. The Upload window will now show the file you selected on the previous window. Please hit either the Upload or Start Upload button at the bottom of the screen to upload your file.
  15. Confirm your file has been uploaded when the confirmation dialog appears.
  16. Please close the Upload via the black x at the upper left corner within the Upload window. Note: do NOT close the entire File Browser window by accident!
  17. This will return you to the File Browser window. Note that your uploaded file should now be displayed and selected. You may then hit insert file at the top right to insert the file and close the File Browser window.
  18. This will return you to the Insert/Edit Link window. Please note the link URL field should now be populated with your file; the location may be complex but near the end it should list your file name.
  19. Hit the Insert key at the bottom left (note that it is highlighted) to finish your file upload and link creation.
  20. Back in the Publications window, note your newly entered text that was previously selected for the link is now colored as an active link (representing your newly uploaded and linked file).
  21. Scroll back to the top of your profile page and hit the Save button. Please note, skipping this step will cause your changes to be lost.
  22. Back in the standard view of your profile page, scroll down to the text you added or changed (in this example, under Publications) and verify the changes have been made and the newly added file is linked. You should also see a notification at the top of the page indicating your profile has been updated (in this example, a Grad Student Profile was updated).

Same text as above, without screen shots:

  1. Login via the Login link at the very bottom of the footer on the main page.
  2. This will go to the login screen. Login with your appropriate login information. After a successful login, note the black bar with your user name and additional commands now visible at the top and bottom of the screen.

Apple Volume License Program

Apple has expanded Volume License Program (VPP) to now include Managed Distribution of Apps as of 11/2013. Under this new feature administrators are now able to provide those codes to end-users with the ability to revoke those licenses at a later date. What is very exciting is now VPP extends not to just the iOS App Store, but also the OS X App Store, and the iBookstore (however, books CANNOT be revoked).

Details are listed here:

For purchased VPP redemption codes and converting them into managed licenses, please read this article:

Digital Literacy Curriculum

Note: A major component of the IT2020 vision is for every faculty, staff and student to be a good Digital Citizen — which includes attaining a basic level of digital literacy. As such, these FREE classes from Microsoft are strongly encouraged for the entire campus as are those available through our agreement with Lynda.com.

The goal of Digital Literacy is to teach and assess basic computer concepts and skills so that people can use computer technology in everyday life to develop new social and economic opportunities for themselves, their families, and their communities.

Whether you are entirely new to computing or have some experience, this curriculum will help you develop a fundamental understanding of computers. From using the Internet, to sending e-mail, to creating a résumé, the Digital Literacy Curriculum helps you develop the essential skills you need to begin computing with confidence.

The Microsoft Digital Literacy curriculum now has three levels:

* Microsoft Digital Literacy Basic curriculum

* Microsoft Digital Literacy Standard curriculum

* Microsoft Digital Literacy Advanced curriculum

What are some efficient mailing list services that we have on campus?

One of the most commonly used mailing list services that UCLA provides through BOL. Communications Technology Services offers a mailing list service to all UCLA students, faculty, and staff. The mailing list service handles subscription request for a mailing list and distributes new messages, or other postings from the list’s members to the entire list of subscribers. The software that is handling out mailing list is called Mailman, which provides and easier to use, intuitive web-based interface for administrative tasks. BOL mailing lists take the form of LISTNAME@lists.ucla.edu.

An online resource for mailing lists that we also recommend is Constant Contact. Constant Contact’s leading email marketing, social media marketing, event marketing, local deals, digital storefronts, and online surveys — supported by free KnowHow, personalized coaching, and award-winning product support — help all types of small businesses and organizations find new customers, drive repeat business, and generate referrals. Today, more than half a million customers worldwide trust Constant Contact to help them drive success. The company further supports small organizations through its extensive network of consultants/resellers, technology providers, franchises, and national associations.

Does UCLA have an electronic version (like a .ics) of the academic calendar that I could add to my computer or mobile device?

All archived calendars are available at: http://www.registrar.ucla.edu/Archives/Academic-Calendar-Archive.

The Registrar’s Office is currently working on making an .ics file available for the academic calendar. The best method would be to screenshot the current year’s academic calendar, save it as a pdf, and then save it on your computer or transfer to your mobile device. Otherwise, you would have to go and manually add in every event in the calendar into iCal.

Term calendars, available at http://www.registrar.ucla.edu/Calendars/Term-Calendar, do have .ics files for download.

Current calendars are available at http://www.registrar.ucla.edu/Calendars/Overview.

Troubleshooting AIS Mainframe Printing

For initial setup see: https://kb.ucla.edu/link/634

Troubleshooting:

To troubleshoot a printing problem you will need the following information:
RMT number, IP address and and the queue name of printer.

Example: RMT3695, 164.67.133.36 / North

Top 3 most common JQP-related problems and solutions:

1. The print server IP address and/or queue name don’t match the information
entered on the mainframe.

Solution: Verify with the AIS Help Desk (x66951) that your IP and queue
match what is entered in JQP.

2. The local print queue is not configured correctly
Solution: verify that Unix Print Services for Windows is installed on the print
server.

3. There is a firewall blocking traffic from the mainframe to the print server
on port 515.

Solution: configure your network firewall to allow inbound traffic
from 164.67.134.200 port 515 to your print server.

Detailed troubleshooting steps:

1. Determine if print queue is configured correctly.

Run the “lpq” command from a DOS prompt on the same network as the print server:

Usage: lpq -Sserver -Pprinter

Example:

G:\> lpq -S164.67.133.36 -PNorthWindows LPD ServerPrinter \\164.67.133.36\North

2. If the lpq command works locally, then verify that remote connections work
from the mainframe by running lpq from TSO (if necessary contact AIS for
assistance).

From TSO:

What's the quickest way to get a computer repaired at UCLA

KST, our contracted PC vendor, also provides tech support for PCs, printers and other equipment. KST has an on-campus support person assigned to UCLA, so to get quick support, simply email them and help is on the way.

Is the KST the lowest possible price for a computer?

The vendors we contract with through KST try to offer their lowest prices through the KST “Sweet Spot” configurations. However, if you are planning to place an order for a large number of machines, contact KST or the vendor directly to see if some additional deal is possible.

What are some labs where I can use special multimedia for my class?

Technology is constantly changing, and with that change comes new and innovative ways for instructors to present their course materials. On campus, there are many labs with a wide variety of multimedia tools available for instructors to tie into their regular lecture schedule. Here are a few labs around campus:

Campus Data Warehouse

The current UCLA Data Warehouse is called the QDB. Information about the QDB can be found at:

The project for developing the next generation data warehouse at UCLA is called the Campus Data Warehouse (CDW) project. More information on this project can be found at:

Course management technology and standards

This is a collection of links to course management technology and standards that we’ve come across in the UCLA Course Management Consortium.

Does UCLA offer computer loans for students?

The UCLA Financial Aid Office provides information about cpmputer loans and how to apply for one:

http://www.fao.ucla.edu/faqs/loananswer/la8.html

The information is provided belowas described by UCLA FAO.
_____________________________________________________________

What is a Computer Loan/ How Do I Apply for One?

The Financial Aid Office does not offer computer loans to our students. We do allow for a one time increase of a student’s Cost of Education to cover the cost of purchasing a computer. The maximum add-on amount allowed by UCLA for a computer purchase is $2000. Once the Cost of Education is increased, the additional need created will be covered by a federal or private loan eligibility.

The type of loan offered is based on student’s dependency status and what types and loan amounts they already have. For example: if a dependent student already has the maximum Stafford Loan eligibility, their cost of a computer purchase will be covered by a parent (PLUS) loan. If an independent student already has the maximum Subsidized Stafford, they will be offered an Unsubsidized Stafford Loan to cover the add-on. If an independent student already has the maximum Subsidized/Unsubsidized Stafford, an add-on will be covered by a private loan.

All add-on funds offered will be divided evenly among your quarters of enrollment.

To apply for a computer add-on, please complete the Petition for Re-evaluation found under FAO Forms on our web site.

Protecting Your Work in the Computer Labs

Protecting Your Work in the Labs

If you are using one the computer labs, it is crucial that you consistently save your work.
Most importantly, save your email attachments before editing them.

When you receive an email with an attachment, it is important that you save you document to the computer’s public drive (D:) in the WORKSPACE folder.

DO NOT simply open the document from your email and make changes from there, you will lose your changes. If you want to keep the document in email, you can attach the edited document to a new email once your have finished changing it.

If you save your file to the public drive and you accidentally log off without saving your work elsewhere, your file will still be in the public drive, workspace folder when you log back on to that machine. However, after you’ve logged off your files will be deleted at log off. You should save your as you’re working, and when you’re finished, there are several ways you can take your work with you. It is a good idea to save to a backup device such as a USB flash drive, a CD/DVD, or a floppy (which are provided for free at the SSC front desk).

Where can I find a scanner on campus to scan large documents?

The Library’s Interlibrary Loan (ILL) have scanners that can scan large documents such as newspapers.

Another large scanner is located in the Music Library Special Collections (B425 Schoenberg).

The Arts Library at 1400 Public Affairs Building (just east of Bunche Hall) also has a large scanner. You can see their facility on the ground level when you enter from the southwest entrance. They are opened Monday through Thursday from 8am to 8pm, and Friday 8am to 5pm.

What is the Frank Cofrancesco Excellence in Technology Award

Frank Cofrancesco was a pioneer in networking and technology support at UCLA in the 1980s and 1990s. He passed away from cancer in 1994, and this award is dedicated to his memory and the campus technologists who demonstrate the skills, vision, attitude, and generosity of both time and knowledge that epitomized Frank. The award is given out each summer based on nominations from the campus and final decision by a small committee of Frank’s peers. There is no money associated with the award but there is a plaque that the winner can display for a year and there is tremendous recognition in winning the award. For more on the award and past winners:

How can I grab a website and place it on my server for a faculty member who wants to archive student web projects?

Several times I’ve been asked by faculty to copy student web projects over to our server, or in one case to burn a CD. The utility I use is wget and among its advantages, it will rewrite the links in each page to local links so they’ll work on your server.

Notes – Mike Franks, Social Sciences Computing – 3 May 2006

The hard part was getting all the parameters right, so that it didn’t dig too deeply, but did go far enough to get everything.

If you’re interested, here are my student programmer’s notes from the last time we did this.

The command I finally ended up with was:

Who is Edward Tufte and why should I care?

Edward Tufte is an expert on presentation of data and visual information and may be most famous for his book The Visual Display of Quantitative Information. In January, 2005, 28 people from UCLA attended the Edward Tufte One-Day Course on Presenting Data and Information. Among other things, he said or talked about:

  1. As viewers or consumers of charts, graphs, etc. we have two questions: First, what story are they trying to tell? Second, can we believe them? One way to increase your credibility is to give as much of your data as possible, if only in footnotes or links elsewhere. By giving the viewer a chance to check for themselves, and see that their conclusion matches yours, you gain credibility.
  2. Graphs and charts are important for how much detail they carry with them. The more the better.
  3. Cognitive Style of PowerPoint – Columbia Disaster
  4. Advice for Presentations

In February, we held an informal debriefing for those of us who went and wanted to talk about it and for others that were interested.

NOTE: All workshop recipients received copies of these three books, so if you can find one of us, there’s a decent chance you could borrow, or at least take a look at them.

One immediate benefit of the workshop here at SSC was that we redesigned our homepage to present much more information up front, instead of the standard Welcome page, and we got immediate positive feedback from our faculty. – Mike Franks, Social Sciences Computing

How do I obtain software at UCLA?

Software is available from many sources at UCLA. Where you get it from depends on several factors some of which are:
Your status – Faculty, Staff, Student, Other
Your department or school
What kind of software you need – Commonly used or specialized
Cost – Free, at a cost
How it will be paid for – University funds, personal funds
What it will be used for – Work at/for campus, personal work
Who owns the machine it will be loaded on – UCLA or personal


For faculty and staff, first contact your departmental Computer Support Coordinators or IT Personnel to see if your department already owns the software/license you need. Purchasing duplicate, unnecessary licenses is a waste of time, energy and money! For students, a number of avenues exist to obtain software. Please read on for more information.


Software Central https://www.softwarecentral.ucla.edu sells (mostly annual) licenses to departments for software that is widely used for University teaching or research. These licenses can be used by Faculty, Staff and on a limited number of agreements, students. (purchased for students through their departments) Currently Software Central can accept payments made from University FAU (full accounting units) only. Visit https://softwarecentral.ucla.edu/product-list for a list of available products. Software Central is continually seeking new agreements to benefit the campus so please check their site often and let them know of software that they might want to look into having a campus (or campus wide) agreement for. Contact them to ask where to get something they do not carry. Email softwarecentral@ucla.edu.


BruinOnLine: http://www.bol.ucla.edu/software/ offers free general use software such as Anti-Virus and SPAM software.


SHI http://www.shi.com is UCLA’s preferred reseller for many software titles. They take UCLA POs and can also handle personal purchases.


The ASUCLA Computer Store sells a limited number of titles. A trip to their store in Ackerman Union is your best bet.


SEASnet Computing Facility: http://www.seas.ucla.edu/download/ offers software for engineering faculty, staff, and students at no cost. Some restrictions may apply.


Using any internet browser to search for titles you cannot find elsewhere will work too – just remember to compare apples to apples when pricing!

As a staff member, what technical groups should I consider joining on campus?

Here is some information about some technical groups staff members at UCLA might want to attend, join, or at least monitor.

Please add groups that haven’t been mentioned.

I'm a new technology based employee at UCLA. How do I learn what's available to me?

If you work in any of the computer technology positions at UCLA, the first thing you should do is join the BruinTech listserv. This will get you on the list to receive announcements, news and events that could be relevant to your job. Then I would suggest that you check the list of technology committees we have for tech professionals at UCLA and see which you’d like to learn more about or get on the listserv for. Then be sure to attend some BruinTech, Help Desk Consortium, Programmers Exchange, Campus Web Publishers, or other affiliated events and get to know your peers. We have a highly decentralized technical environment at UCLA, but we have wonderful mechanisms for building relationships across campus and learning and sharing ideas with others.

To join BruinTech listserv:
https://groups.google.com/a/lists.ucla.edu/forum/#!forum/bruintech

To get involved with BruinTech, please see our Volunteer opportunities: http://bruintech.ucla.edu/get-involved

Depending on which department, division or school you are in, and which service you are using, there are a variety of sources of computer support. Below is the beginning of a collection of sources of support.

I'm an instructor. How can I reserve an electronic classroom for a class?

Many campus computer classrooms serve the needs of specific departments or give priority to their division, so you’ll need to check to see who will best serve your class. Once you find which department or division can help you, you should note what their policy is on when the reservation requests need to be made, and how to request any additional software you might need as it can vary depending on the size of department or classroom!

What is UCLA on iTunes U?

iTunes U is an Apple program to assist universities distribute their digital content using the iTunes desktop application. Apple offers institutions of higher learning free storage space and tools for uploading content, which is then available for download.

In conjunction with Apple Computer, the Office of Instructional Development, the Office of Information Technology, and the UCLA Library have lead a collaborative effort to bring the iTunes U program to UCLA.

UCLA on iTunes U is the campus’s instance of the iTunes U program, providing an easy means of distributing digital content. Users can “subscribe” to podcasts, which are then downloaded to their computer and can be transferred to a portable device, such as an iPod.

If you are a campus department who already hosts podcasts, you don’t need to post your files in two places. As long as your RSS feeds are standard (or at least work in iTunes U), you can copy the RSS feed into an iTunes U site. iTunes U then becomes another distribution point. The actual media files are still served by you, and they can be subscribed to via the iTunes U interface.

For more information regarding the Apple iTunes U program, please visit:

For more information regarding UCLA on iTunes U, our local instance of the program, please see:

The TA for a course is missing from the Gradebook Assistants page. How can they be added?

A TA must be associated with the course in the Registrar’s scheduling system. This adjustment can be completed by contacting your department’s scheduler.

If this is a grader or a reader who does not need official association in the scheduling system, make the person a Gradebook Assistant. See this page for instructions.

Questions about this process can be directed to the Undergraduate Education Information Technology Help Desk at 310-206-4525.

I am trying to get a contract course created but the faculty mentor’s name is not listed. What is wrong?

Two things need to be in place for a faculty member to appear in the contract course search feature.
1. An email address needs to be listed in the campus directory for the professor. The departmental directory updater (listing available here – http://www.directory.ucla.edu/updaters.php) can be contacted to make this adjustment. Once the directory listing is created, MyUCLA will get the information after the next nightly update. These are performed Monday through Thursday night only.
2. The professor must have an active teaching appointment. This can be verified by the department’s academic personnel administrator. If there is no appointment for the professor, the student will need to look for another faculty mentor.
Questions about this process can be directed to the Undergraduate Education Information Technology Help Desk at 310-206-4525.
