The influence of Windows on Dartmouth continued. Even with Apple's financial
recovery via the iMac and improved overall products, global Windows momentum,
significantly in critical client applications, continued to drive Computing
Services to support and recommend Windows in increasing numbers. Dartmouth
became a dual platform campus, although at that time Apple remained the
dominant vendor.

A committee of senior administrators created a report outlining the need for
significant new resources for World Wide Web publishing support. The report,
the first such high-level acknowledgement of the Internet as a critical
communications medium, was awaiting the attention of the to-be hired Vice
President for External Relations. Computing Services began development and
testing of several new Web support initiatives in anticipation of new
resources. See Web Services -
Design, Development, and Hosting.

Telephone Services Became Department Within Computing
Services
Telephone Services became a department within Computing Services. Computing
Services worked to achieve telephony and data services improvements through the
synergy of two like functions operating under one management. The long-range
strategic gains were even more significant to Dartmouth as the global
voice/data convergence continued. See Computing at Dartmouth.

To increase support for faculty using technology in the curriculum,
Computing Services, together with the College of Arts & Sciences,
Facilities Operations and Management, and the Classroom Subcommittee, created a
classroom equipment replacement and maintenance fiscal mechanism tied to the
quantity of classroom technology equipment. The subcommittee continues to work
to make classroom technology planning a priority item in all major construction
and renovation projects.
