Welcome to NYU Information Technology Services!

See below for a brief overview for faculty of the services and facilities offered by NYU Information Technology Services (ITS).

A collaborative facility of the Libraries and ITS, providing advanced technology resources and expert consultation for NYU faculty in all disciplines.

NYU Blackboard (Learning Management System)

www.nyu.edu/its/blackboard
All NYU faculty can use Blackboard to create a course environment on the Web without having to learn HTML.

NYU Lists

www.nyu.edu/its/lists
NYU Lists are discussion lists which can be used by NYU faculty, staff, and students to exchange ideas about specialized topics, post deadlines or homework assignments, or confirm meeting changes. List mail may be received in an email account or accessed by using the List's web interface.

High Performance Computing Resources

www.nyu.edu/its/research/hpc
NYU supports high performance computing (HPC) and networking for researchers and scholars. For details on NYU's HPC clusters and high-speed networks, click the link above.

Multimedia Resources

ITS multimedia resources are available through the Digital Studio, the Advanced Media Studio, and the Fourth Street Academic Technology Center. In addition, NYU offers a variety of podcasting resources for faculty.

Data Services

library.nyu.edu/dataservice
The Data Service Studio, a collaborative effort of ITS and the NYU Libraries, provides expert consultation and resources in research methods, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and statistical analysis for NYU students, faculty, and research staff.

Wired Classrooms

www.nyu.edu/its/classrooms
Information about hands-on computer classrooms available for classes that require in-class computer use by students.

ITS Computer Labs

www.nyu.edu/its/labs
ITS provides two types of computer labs, ITS Academic Technology Centers and NYU CoLabs. For locations, hours, and detailed resource lists, visit www.nyu.edu/its/labs.

Files 2.0 and Webspace

www.nyu.edu/its/filestorage/
ITS provides two web-based file storage and sharing solutions: Files 2.0 and Webspace. Files 2.0 is available via the NYUHome Files tab and fulfills most faculty members' personal, work, research, teaching, and learning needs. It features secure file storage, large quotas, restricted sharing, as well as the ability to host public web pages, and a user-friendly interface.

Webspace is a similar service, but is intended for use by departments who need to store potentially sensitive data, and therefore does not provide functionality for public sharing and web publication.

ITS Print Service

www.nyu.edu/its/print
ITS Print Service offers convenient and easy-to-use printing while also conserving resources and helping the environment. It includes all printing at the ITS computer labs and, with the appropriate software installed, can be used from your NYU-NET connected computer.

Faculty Accounts

www.nyu.edu/its/accounts/faculty
Descriptions of the ITS computing accounts available to NYU faculty, with information on how to apply.

Faculty Digital Archive

www.nyu.edu/its/faculty/fda and http://archive.nyu.edu
The Faculty Digital Archive is a place where full-time NYU faculty can deposit their work in digital form. In the Archive, it can be shared with the world, or restricted to selected people. It is intended to be a highly visible repository of NYU faculty digital scholarship. The FDA is organized into communities and collections. Communities contain and organize collections. Collections will contain faculty content. Collections will be owned and managed by faculty, who will have responsibility for adding, making available, and removing content. ITS Client Services and the Digital Studio will be available to assist faculty in this.

Digital Image Collections

NYU provides storage and management resources for digital image collections via the NYU Libraries' subscription to ARTstor.
