Research
To access the e-journals at Marriott Library, you need to enable a proxy for your browser if you're coming in from off-campus. the proxy address is http://proxy.utah.edu:8080/off-site.pac and the set up information is here.
The FoxyProxy extension for firefox is very convenient: you can set it up to enable the library proxy only for accessing the e-journals site.
Teaching
Web pages
/uusoc/sys/classes on the main cs machine (shell.cs.utah.edu) contains all the class directories. If your class is csXXXX, then csXXXX/public_html/ contains the home page for the class, which is linked to the URL http://www.cs.utah.edu/classes/csXXXX..
Common practice is to have this page soft link to the directory csXXXX-<your name>/ instead. this allows for multiple instances of the class to be taught by different people.
You should email support@cs.utah.edu to get these directories created and under your control
Mailing lists
Again, send mail to support@cs.utah.edu to set up the class mailing lists csXXXX and teach-csXXXX (I don't know what the second one does).
Books
Sometime before the semester starts, you will be asked to provide information on desk copies. You can get more than one book as a desk copy if you plan to be teaching from multiple texts. For photocopies etc, you're on your own.
Enrollment
You can check the enrollment in your class by looking for the semester here, and then looking for the link titled 'Class Rolls'.
The page https://gate.acs.utah.edu/ is a very useful general resource.
