Following a list of Campus Computer Technology Committee (CCTC) members, part 1 discusses technology development at CC, reviewing long- and short-term needs and the role of the CCTC. Part 2 focuses on ensuring access to technology, highlighting needs to standardize hardware, software, and networks; develop a technology staff and provide adequate technical support; develop facilities to allow access to the Internet; and design a World-Wide Web page for the college. Part 3 discusses support services for technology at CC, considering issues related to faculty training to integrate computers into the classroom, the duties of a technical support unit, and staff training to use new equipment. Part 4 describes the development of the campus networking system to accommodate new technology, describing the existing infrastructure and needs for direct Internet and microwave links. Part 5 reviews college needs to become compatible with emerging technologies, while part 6 discusses strategies for paying for new technology, such as pooling resources or forming partnerships with business, industry, and government agencies. Finally, part 7 provides time lines for the specific goals of developing a networking system, developing a process for equipment replacement and acquisition, building a technology staff, and providing support services.
