Grants program. The following three projects exemplify this faculty-staff
partnership program.

kind in the country. Visitors can access 300 hours of original oral
history recordings with more to be added. And with the powerful search
capabilities that have been developed, users can search for material
across all 300 hours.
Physics

This project supports one of the largest laboratory courses on campus
with over 1,000 students per year conducting real-time experiments,
data collection and analysis. Using an OS X Server and FileMaker
Pro software, students share their findings via a specialized website.
AIM

server, Oracle database and streaming media server to provide a
visual, interactive media package accessible over the web.
