WHAT'S NEW
Extension staff photo procedure changes
ISU Photo Service closed on Nov. 16. However, ISU Extension staff still may have their portraits taken by a campus photographer. The minimum time will be charged to your county/area or campus department. To schedule a sitting, call Grant Steinfeldt at (515) 294-3223. Tell him you are with Extension and that your prints should be sent to Jeanette Foshee, CECS, 3614 ASB, for filing. (We still will maintain these photo files and distribute prints.) When you arrive for your scheduled sitting, check in at Instructional Technology Center (ITC), 1200 Communications Building.Other photo services also change
Because ISU Photo Service closed, several services the office had provided are now being handled differently.
- Film, photo supplies and film processing are being handled by the University Book Store, Memorial Union.
- ISU photo archives will be maintained by ITC. A reduced user fee schedule for images in the archive will be announced in early January. The university's historical archive remains at Parks Library.
- For on-location or studio photography, call ISU photographer Bob Elbert, (515) 294-4053. The hourly fee will be paid by the requester.

QUICK TIPS
Use Microsoft Office at home through special arrangement
The Iowa State University Microsoft Campus Agreement contains a Work at Home Rights (WAHR) option for eligible faculty and staff. The WAHR option allows eligible ISU faculty and staff to use the Microsoft Office Suite on a personally-owned computer. However, under WAHR, faculty and staff members may use Microsoft Office for work-related use only.Check the Web for details of the Work at Home Rights option (http://www.mca.iastate.edu/wahr-el-dist.doc).
ISU Extension field staff are eligible for WAHR. Currently, ISU Extension field staff can pick up a copy of the Microsoft Office Suite at the Microcomputer Product Center located on campus in 191 Durham Center. You will need to sign a copy of the eligibility form (http://www.mca.iastate.edu/work-at-home.pdf) and pay a $20 fee after showing your university ID card.
Extension field staff have another option for receiving the Microsoft Office Suite. Extension Distribution Center is prepared to distribute the media to ISU Extension field staff in the following manner.
- You will need to fax a signed copy of the eligibility form (http://www.mca.iastate.edu/work-at-home.pdf) to EDC to verify your eligibility. EDC's fax number is (515) 294-2945.
- EDC will ship the media to your county office along with a copy of your signed eligibility form.
- EDC will bill your county office the $20.00 processing/media fee.
- You will need to make arrangements to reimburse your office for the $20 payment.
