NEW UNSW CORPORATE VIDEO AVAILABLE NOW last month, UN5W launched the new UNSW Corporate Video, in DVD format. The five-minute video's theme is Above and beyond, positioning UNSW as a leader that sets the benchmark for achievement and qua lity in research and teaching. The video showcases the h igh ca libre of UNSW co urses, academics, students, alumni, research programs, and community service init ia tives. It also aims to engender pride in the University, and to inspire greater par1icipation in University life. The video will be shown regularly at both local and international UNSW events.

Produced by the Divis ion of Insti tutional Advancement (DIA). the video represents the cooperJtion of numerous Schools Jnd Faculties. DIA would like to express its sincere thanks to all those staff who supplied footage and material feat ured in the video. Their contributions helped ensure the video's breadth and <Iuality.

All Deans hilve received a copy o f the video. Fo r those Unive rsity staff who would like to o rder a DVD for their own purposes, please contact Gilliiln Fullilove at cfy llilovefll unsw.edu.ilu, or pho ne 93853752. The cost is a pproximately 5 14 pe r DVD.

DIS CHANGES TO UNSW IT SERVICES DIS (Division of Information Services) has recently undergone a rt.'Strucluring program to reflect the dem,lnd created by the UNSW community. The process has produced a number of structural and c ultural changes as well as a name c hange from DIS to UNSW IT Services.

The Jim of the restructure is to beco me J Single, more integrated IT o rganisation that delivers services within a management framework, sUPPOr1ed by a service catalogue, service levels and a me.1Surable quality of service. This will not only he lp UNSW IT Services develop a stro ng service culture but also align itself with the objectives of the Universi ty.

The DIS<>Connect and ACSU he lpdesk services have also been integrated into a single enti ty, now known as the IT Service Desk. It is lhe central point of contact for UNSW staff and students requiring assistance with computer related issues. In addition to this, there is now a service counter located on leve l two of the library building in Kensington campus, whe re informat ion and support for UniMail , UDUS, Staff Online, MyUNSW; and Uniwide is available. The IT Service Desk can be contacted via email on servjcedeskOun$W.edy.au or via phone on 9385 1333 or 9385 1777.

Find out more information about the changes from the UNSW IT Services website at bnp:/lwww. ils unsw.edu.au. Informatio n Jbout all the services offered by UN5W IT Services can also be found in

the Service Catalogue section of the website.
