Creating a campus on-line news system

ABSTRACT

Information Systems, MIT's campus-wide computing service organization, recently reorganized and strengthened its resources. Out of this recent effort came the decision to explore several ways of reporting on the expanded range of systems and services we offer. One service that central computing facilities must provide is timely notice of changes to the supported systems. This paper presents the design and implementation of Information Systems' “On-Line News System”, which keeps users updated about changes in the wide variety of services offered by Information Systems.
