DMSE Computing Administration and Support

We would like to provide some clear guidelines regarding DMSE computer support. As our DMSE technician, Roland Smith, is only here 8 hours per week, we hope to utilize his time best. The following should cover most computer issues:

Software
MIT software currently available for download can be found at: http://web.mit.edu/software/
Many answers to your common software questions, including software installation can be found on the IS&T website.

Please note- Software purchasing (with exception of the above mentioned) and installation is the responsibility of each research group. The department does not provide support for this. We encourage everyone to utilize Ecat when making these purchases, as the prices are discounted.

Other Issues
If you are unable to resolve your computer hardware problems by utilizing IS&T’s website or Help desk (X3-1101, Email: computing-help (at) mit.edu), please send an e-mail to aso-net (at) mit.edu. Most hardware related inquiries such as printer problems and ALL urgent inquiries such as no access to e-mail, etc. should be directed to aso-net (at) mit.edu.

Gracie White will serve as the initial Liaison for coordinating your requests in order of priority and your request will be placed in queue. Roland Smith’s services are available every Wednesday afternoon and Friday mornings.

Please remember to utilize MIT’s preferred printers and hardware. By using MIT’s preferred printers and hardware you make it easier for our computer technician to better assist when a problem arises.
