Office of the CIO
Greeting Colleagues,
This is an Information and Technology update for October 17, 2008. The St. Thomas library will resume normal scheduled hours starting tomorrow October 18, 2008 at 9:00 am and will close at 5:00 pm. Unfortunately, the St. Croix campus library will not re-open until Monday, October 20, 2008 because of water damage incurred due to Hurricane Omar ,along with no electricity or access to technology resources.
Efforts to restore technology services to the St. Croix campus have been hampered due to lack of electricity; once the electricity is restored Information and Technology Services will attempt to fully restore the technology access to the St. Croix campus.
If you have any questions please contact our ITS help desk at 693-1466. Thank you for your patience as we work through this recovery period.

UVI Blackboard Update, Week of 10-17-08
Blackboard services have been functional for most of the week. Due to Hurricane Omar, users on the St. Croix campus were without power and were unable to access the UVI network including Blackboard. All off-campus users were able to access Blackboard. There was also a minor bug with the Blackboard email system this week, which has been resolved.
