Abstract
The purpose of this session is to share some techniques being used at Cedarville College for the delivery of information to individuals. Our customers (students, faculty, and staff) have an expectation of convenient and rapid access to information. Providing non-confidential information via CWIS systems meets part of this customer expectation. However, a need still exists for providing confidential information and transaction processing without granting access to the central computing system. The computer services department of Cedarville College has developed a method for providing this service to its customers using the campuswide LAN. Examples of services for students include: * Copies of current transcript records * Ability to run a degree audit calculation and perform what-if analyses * Copies of current accounts-receivable activity * Residence hall checkout transactions * Booksale transactionsSimilar services for faculty and staff provide access to general ledger activity.
