StudentWeb Committee, composed entirely of student volunteers, is proud to present StudentWeb: Tulane University's first World Wide Web Student Server, on-line to allow Tulane students to publish HTML documents on the internet. Tulane Computer Services has purchased the computer and is allowing StudentWeb Committee to maintain it. This joint project is designed to fulfill a need identified by students, and will be linked to the Tulane Home Page.

Committed to making internet publishing easy, StudentWeb Committee has created a simple-to-use server with a friendly interface. Quick on-line registration is made possible by a computer script written by the student volunteers. A Tulane student simply fills out a form and a generic Home Page is automatically created, with instructions given on how to further personalize the page.

Student users are expected to follow Tulane Computer Services policies, University Guidelines for Publications, and the Student Code of Conduct. There are no further restrictions on content. StudentWeb Committee Administrators include: David Endler, System Administrator; Eric Strauss, Committee Chair/Public Relations; Mike Holzman, Interface Design; Tom Ward, Interface Design; D.J. Verret, Help and Support.

StudentWeb is a first generation IBM RS/6000 WWW server. It is a 40P and has a PowerPC processor. StudentWeb Committee is currently running Netscape Corporation's Server and the operating system is IBM's version of UNIX, AIX v4.1.

Additional information is available on-line at http://studentweb.tulane.edu/faq.html.

The volunteers of StudentWeb Committee thank Tulane Computer Services, in particular Dr. Jed Diem, Director Academic Computing, for this opportunity to make a World Wide Web Server available to the students of Tulane.
