Sustainability at Luther College

Preus First Floor Lab Monitor Upgrade

The ten Windows PCs outside the SASC office have had their monitors upgraded from 17” CRTs to 19” Widescreen LCDs.

LIS to Deploy GoPrint Print Management Client with KACE KBOX

In the upcoming weeks, LIS will be deploying the GoPrint Print Management Client to all faculty/staff Windows based workstations across campus via the KACE KBOX. This process is done remotely and runs in the background. A user will not notice an interruption and no interaction is required on their part. Once deployed to a user’s machine, the GoPrint icon will appear in their system tray. The application will lay dormant until LIS enables GoPrint on their department’s respective printers. LIS will contact all departments before enabling GoPrint.

Sustainability

Information regarding sustainability, from LIS’ perspective and including LIS recommendations, has been pulled together into one document located at http://lis.luther.edu/sustainability.
