About the Drop-in Seminars Over the past several years, the Technology Training
Services (TTS) group has put a great deal of effort into improving the quality of and attendance at the Tech Express and Tech Briefing drop-in seminars (formerly known as TTBBs and TGIFs).
Our clients have come to expect high quality instruction, information, and materials at these sessions -- and they are getting that!
The keys to continuing to deliver quality sessions are marketing and preparation.
Marketing the Presentations TTS routinely emails announcements to
techexpress@lists and techbriefings@lists.
In addition, presenters often send email to their special interest groups (e.g., netadmin@lists, partners@lists, web-creators@lists) regarding upcoming presentations. They know their potential audience best, and get a good response. TTS has a template that can help you craft a such an email.
If there are other ways in which TTS can help presenters market their sessions, just give us a ring (723-4301).
Preparing the PresentationsInstructors: Please plan presentations ahead of time and know what
materials and equipment are needed. Let TTS know ONE WEEK in advance for special requests.
Contact TTS for a pre-presentation orientation (walk-through) of the technology in the room you will be using, if necessary. To do a “dry-run” in Turing Auditorium before your presentation, contact TTS at least one week ahead.
Create good visual aids. These can be PowerPoint slides or websites.
Handouts are a must. They may be copies of a PowerPoint presentation, a URL to go to for more information, and/or contact information for the speaker or group.
Timeline
Begin marketing the presentation at least TWO weeks before the session. Contact TTS if you need assistance in crafting or sending notices to potential attendees.
Provide enough time for TTS to duplicate handouts and visual aids. Please turn in visual aids no later than ONE WEEK before the presentation. This will give TTS time to review the handout(s) and make the copies.
In addition, TTS will publish your handouts to the web: http://techexpress.stanford.edu or http://techbriefings.stanford.edu

This week's Summer Tech Express will be on:Converting Forsythe EMS Distribution Lists to Stanford Mailing List ServicesIn this "bonus" Tech Express, Mark Branom will show you how to use the Mailing List Services available at lists.stanford.edu. An email list (also called "mailing list" or "email distribution list") lets you send a piece of email to a single email address (the address of the list), and the email is then forwarded as email to all the email addresses in the list. Learn how easy it is to use this web-based service as a replacement for the Forsythe EMS Distributions Lists that you may have been using.

Do any of the following questions sound familiar?
I've been hearing a lot about "information security" – what's all the hue and cry about? What is the "Security Awareness program?" Someone said that Information Security Services is scanning computers all over campus – isn't
that a violation of my privacy? Stanford has ten's of thousands of computers on a very open network – doesn't that mean we
can't be secure? Doesn't more or better information security mean that getting my computer work done will be
harder, or even impossible to do? If these and other similar questions are on your mind, come to this session and get your questions answered. Tina Darmohray, of Information Security Services, will provide an update on programs and activities, as well as explain the value of security facilities that we all can use. Get YOUR questions answered.
