Service Desk (First-Level Support)
The service desk of the Leipzig University Computer Centre (URZ) is the central contact point for all enquiries concerning the services offered by the URZ. Thus, the service desk acts as a link between the users and the specialist departments of the URZ. Enquiries that cannot be answered conclusively immediately are recorded in the service desk and forwarded to the respective specialist departments of the URZ and answered by them.
Setting up mailing lists
The service can be used to set up and manage e-mail distribution lists (mailing lists) using the Mailman programme. This web-based software offers various options for the settings. The circular mail is sent from the usual e-mail programme to a special e-mail address, which is then distributed. These mailing lists are used to realise easy-to-use communication within a group of recipients. The open mailing lists offer all interested parties a communication platform for specific topics. The closed lists are mainly used to discuss application-specific issues.
Software shop
On behalf of the University, the URZ offers institutions as well as staff and students the opportunity to purchase a variety of programmes and associated licences (e.g. SPSS, Adobe Acrobat Pro, Adobe Photoshop Elements, Filemaker, EndNote and many more) via the software shop. The software shop is operated by an external service provider (ASKNET).
