UA Featured on iTunes U

October 5, 2011 – iTunes U has 3 features from the University of Alabama.  This first is a podcast done by Sean Hoade, Zombies! The Living Dead in Literature.  One of the more unusual and popular classes that has been offered during UA’s Interim Terms, Zombies! The Living Dead in Literature, offers insight into the roles zombies play in the modern psyche and its art.

Also featured is BP Deepwater Horizon Disaster presented by Discovering Alabama. This explores a natural history perspective on the Gulf Oil Spill along with extended interviews from scientists, environmentalists, and concerned citizens, including Robert Kennedy, Jr. and Phillippe Cousteau.

The University of Alabama Department of Chemistry is also featured with the Arduengo Lectures in Chemistry.  This lecture is funded by an endowment to honor the achievements of Professor Anthony J. Arduengo III and to promote academic excellence in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Alabama in perpetuity.

Routine Maintenance

OIT performs routine maintenance on servers and systems every Sunday from 8 a.m. to noon. Many IT services may be offline intermittently during this time. Network access and computing resources availability (Banner, E-Learning, Exchange server, etc.) may also be affected. Since this is a low-usage period, fewer UA customers will be impacted. For questions, contact the IT Service Desk at (205) 348-5555 or itsd@ua.edu.
