BANNER System Update

by Libby Bullock, Information Resources

A beehive of activity is going on at Information Resources, Research Park. Phase II implementation of the BANNER Student Information System has begun! Ten staff members, assisted by ten temporary programmer/analysts, are working on projects that encompass many desperately needed add-ons for the BANNER System. Projects that will be completed by October/November 1993 include:

• Class Roster Download, which will allow authorized faculty to download their class rosters to their PCs or Macs, and

• Query Screens that will allow authorized users easy access to commonly-viewed data.

Information Resources is working with the Registrar's Office to prepare a packet that will include everything necessary to apply for BANNER System access. This packet will be handed out at the IT Campus Access Point, 1400 Surge II.

Information Resources is organizing its staff to respond more efficiently to the many questions (all good questions!) coming to us from BANNER users. We all are enjoying the challenge of helping our users learn a new system and hope we can even make their tasks a little easier than before.
