About Connect

Connect: Information Technology at NYU is edited and published by New York University's Information Technology Services (ITS). Its scope includes information about computing, networking and telecommunications across NYU's various schools, departments and administrative units, as well as developments in information technology outside the University.

Beginning with the Spring/Summer 2009 issue, Connect is moving away from print distribution to a primarily online format, becoming a web-only publication, while also retaining options under which you can download and print your own copy. We hope you find the transition a smooth and useful one. If you are hosting an event at which you would like to distribute print copies of recent earlier editions of Connect, please send an e-mail with a description of your event and the number of copies you require to: its.connect@nyu.edu. Please allow at least one week for processing. ITS can not guarantee that we will be able to fulfill all requests.

We welcome your comments about the articles in this issue, as well as suggestions for future issues. Contributions are invited for consideration by the editor. Opinions expressed in the articles in this publication are those of the authors and not necessarily those of Information Technology Services or of New York University.
