2006 Student Edition - Volume 2 > What's New & Changing
What's New & Changing at Northwestern March 28, 2006Pubweb Users Find New Tools with Web Hosting Services Moving content from Pubweb is quick and easy, according to former Pubweb account holders who are switching their site content to alternative Web hosting services. Although Pubweb served as Northwestern's Web hosting service for experimental or personal Web pages, its use has declined significantly with advances in Web-related technologies and the increasing availability of hosting services. As a result, Pubweb will be retired on December 31, 2006. Find out more about Pubweb retirement on the NUIT Web site. Pubweb account holders can continue to use the service until the end of 2006, but if you haven't used your account recently, take a few minutes to review its contents and close it permanently. Moving your content to an external provider is quick and easy, and you can find out more about file transfers and hosting services on the Pubweb pages of the NUIT Web site. Please direct additional questions to the NUIT Support Center at 847-491-HELP (4357) or consultant@northwestern.edu. Create a Commercial about the NUIT MediaWorks Lab and Enter to Win an iPod Have you used the cool media tools in the basement of the University Library? The NUIT MediaWorks Lab dedicates professional production equipment for student use, including tools to edit video and audio, scan and manipulate photos, and develop Web content and animation. Use these capabilities to create a 30-second commercial and get in the running for the top prize of a 60 GB video iPod or the second prize of an iPod nano. The 2006 NUIT MediaWorks Lab Promo Contest seeks creative spots to promote lab resources and increase awareness. Entries must use MediaWorks tools in some aspect of the work, which will be judged on creativity, strength of production, and overall effectiveness. "We've got the resources to do some very cool things at the MediaWorks Lab, and the Promo Contest is a great way to highlight them," said Harlan Wallach, NUIT architect for media technologies and director of the NU Advanced Media Production Studio (NUAMPS). "Students can be creative with this, and use the same video, audio, and graphic tools used by industry professionals."
