Planned Maintenance and Upgrade - OneWeb

The OneWeb "Add Value" system for JasperCard will be offline for maintenance and upgrade starting in the afternoon of Tuesday 12/16.  The upgrade has been scheduled to upgrade the OneWeb system to provide a better user experience.  Other system maintenance will also be performed at the beginning of this maintenance window.

As a result, the following services will be offline as follows:

Starting at 2:30PM 12/16

- Balances may not immediately be available when using your JasperCard at campus dining venues.   Campus dining venues scheduled to be open on 12/16 will be fully operational throughout the maintenance.

- OneWeb system offline - not available to add new funds to JasperCard.  Existing funds on JasperCard may still be used.

While we expect all campus dining venues to be fully online later in the day of 12/16, the OneWeb system will remain offline for an extended period to apply additional upgrades.  The OneWeb system is expected to be operational prior to returning from winter break on 1/5/2015.  

The OneWeb maintenance/upgrade affects ONLY adding funds to JasperCard.  All other JasperCard transactions will be ONLINE during this upgrade period.

Computer Lab Sustainability Efforts

#sustainability The first few weeks of the semester resulted in large pillars of wasted paper assembling near the kiosk computers in the library.  The IT department has taken measures to reduce the amount of waste paper generated.  The rate at which the pillars (shown below) are growing has significantly decreased:

Before:

Some of the measures taken to reduce the amount of waste paper generated include: minimizing the amount of time between clicking print and seeing the result, ensuring that each computer displays only the printers that are in the same room as that particular computer, and, lastly, the default printer on each computer is the printer closest to it.  The combination of these improvements has made a noticeable difference in the volume of waste paper generated, as you can see below.
