Computing Facilities available to Biological Sciences at SFU
Help Available
If you need help receiving e-mail attachments, putting classes or information on the web, or you are not sure but think your computer should be doing something more for you, please e-mail or see me (Dave Carmean, carmean@sfu.ca). I am available to anyone in our department for help with computing- my (half time) job is to answer your computing questions or point you in the direction of someone that can (I also do research in insect phylogeny and yellowjacket biology).
A great deal of general and SFU specific help is available from Academic Computing Services (e-mail them at "help"). Their phone number is 291-3230 (undergrads use 291-3930).
