Telecommunication and Networking (TeLNeT) has noticed an increased volume of conference calls being placed by the University Community and Hospital staff. Many of the conference calls are set up incorrectly when using AT&T, resulting in higher costs being passed on to the end user. There are reference guides on the DoIT Web page (see link below) to better help you choose and setup the appropriate type conference call that will meet your needs. You can use the University's telephone system to connect all parties or AT&T Teleconference Services when you want all parties to call into a conference bridge. TeLNeT will be happy to train you and your staff on the most efficient and cost effective way to set up a conference call. For additional information or to set up a training session call the Telephony Office at 632-9130. http://naples.cc.sunysb.edu/doit.nsf/pages/phoneinfo Submitted by: Melissa Bishop/DoIT 2. * YOU GOT INKJETS? Old Cell Phones and PDAs? * Recycle your empty Ink Jet cartridge, cell phone, and PDA. Look for the "Got Inkjet" Free postage-paid envelope displays located throughout campus to easily recycle the above items. Please contact Maria Maloney at 632-1287 and she will be happy to answer any questions you may have, or address your service needs, or provide you with new displays or envelopes. DID YOU KNOW? * According to a recent study, people living in the U.S. will soon be getting rid of about 130 million mobile phones every year. * Every year, over 400 million cartridges, with a combined weight of 200 million pounds, are discarded into our nation's landfills. * If every used cartridge was recovered for remanufacturing, we could conserve more than 283 million gallons of oil. This message brought to you by the Department of Recycling/Resource Management. Thank you. Submitted by: Michael Youdelman/Admin 3.
