IT Lab, Ed Tech Lab to merge by George Spain IS Technical Publisher Information Services (IS) and the MUSC Library announced a new campuswide technology resource to support faculty, researchers, and students.   The Information Technology Lab (ITLab) and the Educational Technology Lab (ETL)  will merge and become the Center for Academic Computing on the fourth floor of the Education Center/Library Building under the direction of Mary Mauldin, Ed.D.   The center will “focus on the teaching and research mission of the University. The staff will support faculty from all colleges in their teaching, Web-based curriculum development,  and research activities,” said W. Roger Poston, II, Ph.D., director of Academic and Research Computing.   “The CAC fits into the model for a successful library program,” said Tom Basler, Ph.D., director of the Library and Learning Resources Center. “It’s in step with what progressive health science libraries are doing around the country. The point of the CAC is to blend and focus resources available to all colleges. The issue here is consolidation, not ownership.”   You can contact Mauldin via e-mail at mauldinm@musc.edu, by phone at 876-5040, or by visiting Room AL 450 on the fourth floor of the Education Center/Library.   Friday, Sept. 30, 2005 Catalyst Online is published weekly, updated as needed and improved from time to time by the MUSC Office of Public Relations for the faculty, employees and students of the Medical University of South Carolina.
