So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish…
With this final post, we must confirm and affirm that all ‘Good Things’ come to an end in order to allow for progress. The message left by the dolphins when they departed Planet Earth just before it was demolished to make way for a hyperspace bypass, in book by the same name in The Hitchhiker’s […]
Media Services pricing updates
Effective September 1st 2009, the prices for services rendered will be adjusted due to an increase in the cost of materials and shipping. While it pains us to have to do this, certain services such as Lamination have not had a cost adjustment in roughly 15 years, yet the cost of materials have continued to […]
Media Services’ Fall Training Schedule

This is done so we can provide the best service to those that we serve with the resources we have available. Given the fact that the Media Services Office is only staffed by one […]
VirtualOffice server update
As of this afternoon, we have relocated our VirtualOffice system to a new server. Using this new server provides us with several advantages and new features.

As the Gustavus Community prepares for the upcoming combined festivities of The Presidential Inauguration, Home Coming, Reunions, Family Weekend, and the Nobel Conference there are greater than usual large requests happening simultaneously in addition to […]
gac.edu or gustavus.edu?
There is no doubt that community members are familiar with both the gustavus.edu and gac.edu domains. The gac.edu is most commonly used on campus because it is shorter and was established first. At the same time, Gustavus would like to be known as “Gustavus” and not “GAC” to the outside world, so both exist. Appropriate […]
Media Services VirtualOffice 6
With summer “break” ending in a month, Media Services is still hard at work on VirtualOffice 6, the successor to our current version. After using version 5 for over a year and collecting some much-appreciated feedback from students, faculty, and staff on campus, we have learned a great deal about how VirtualOffice helps everyone using […]
Introducing: Epson Stylus Pro 11880
With the frequent failure of the six year old (that’s how long we had it after purchasing it used) Encad 750 large format printer, a new large format printer has been added to replace our oldest large format printer. The Encad 750 has been replaced with a Epson Stylus Pro 11880. This new 64″ large […]
