The Computation Center was organized in 1962 to provide an all-University computing service and a centralized facility for research and education in the computer sciences. The Center maintained a variety of computing facilities ranging from punch card equipment to large scale analog and digital computers. The Center offers short, noncredit courses in computer programming and provides liaison for academic departments offering formal courses using the computer. In 2004, the head of Academic Information Technologies (AIT) was also named the university's Chief Information Officer (a three-year renewable term). In 2005, a major reorganization resulted in the combining of the university's information technology areas, merging the following: Academic Information Technologies (AIT); Administrative Technology Services (ATS); Instructional Technology Center (ITC); and Telecommunications. Information Technology Services (ITS) is the name given to the new department. |
The collection (1995-1999, n.d.) contains records related to Iowa State University's efforts to validate and verify that its computer systems were compliant with the year 2000. The records include monthly reports, meeting minutes, correspondence, and printed materials. Plans and information regarding the needs of each academic and administrative unit on campus regarding computer systems compliance are also part of the collection. The collection contains meeting materials related to the Iowa Board of Regents Legislative Oversight Committee and peer reviews related to Y2K efforts at Regents institutions. |
The collection is listed in alphabetical order. |
