CIT Lab Storage Server ("Wiggum")

CIT Lab users now have access to gigabytes of secure storage space on Wiggum, the CIT Lab's new network-attached storage server. The availability of a very large amount of central storage space offers CIT Lab users a great deal more security and freedom that they currently have in saving their working files.

Equipment for Loan

The CIT Lab now loans out equipment, such as a digital camcorder and digital camera, for short periods of time. The following equipment can be borrowed by UCSF faculty (or their designated staff/student assistants) for the purposes of developing instructional content. All borrowers must accept full responsibility for the equipment they borrow (a signed lease agreement is required). Contact the Manager, CIT Lab, for more information.
