Editor's Note: At Home on the Web is a regular feature of the I.T. Times. If you have a Web site you would like featured in the column, send e-mail to ietpubs@ucdavis.edu. Center for Avian Biology http://avian.ucdavis.edu/ This site is one for the birds! This multidisciplinary campus research unit has a newly revamped and very attractive site. An astonishing variety of disciplines are involved with the Center for Avian Biology -- and links to all of these make this a well-connected site. Navigation is simple and straightforward. E-Mail Postmaster http://email.ucdavis.edu/ Yes, "postmaster@ucdavis.edu" is a real person, Debbie Edwards, and she now has this page where the campus community can become better acquainted with her and the important service she provides to us all. Campus e-mail policies can be accessed from here, as well as general information and FAQs about class mailing lists, listprocs, news groups, and IRC channels. Helpful utilities such as "MailID Detective" and "Unified Campus Namespaces" are also available. Shields Course Reserve http://www.lib.ucdavis.edu/reserves/alldept.html Students will find this page useful -- it's a listing of all course material on reserve at Shields Library. Material is listed by department. A very few items (e.g., some old exams) are even available online in PDF format! UCDMC Wellness Center http://wellness.ucdavis.edu/ The Wellness Center is a great resource for the community. At this site you can explore such topics as cancer, healthy hearts, children's health, diet and exercise, and women's health. A schedule of classes is offered, with online registration available. Be advised that the main page at this site is graphics intensive, so a fast connection is recommended (or turn graphics off on your browser). Some areas are still under construction, but the site is well worth a visit. ASUCD Home Page http://asucd.ucdavis.edu/ Here is your online guide to student government at UC Davis. You will find details about all ASUCD publications (there are a lot of them), entertainment schedules (movies & music), services (e.g., Unitrans, Classical Notes, Project Recycle, and the "Tipsy Taxi"), the multitude of student organizations on campus, sports activities, and last but not least, student job opportunities. Quick Resource Guide for Advising Students http://stuaff.ucdavis.edu/QRGA/facguide.html Advising students is an important faculty function, and this page can help. Academic and career advising are covered, and you will find information about research and internship opportunities as well as advice and policies regarding various difficult situations which may arise.
