KEEP SUNY-Shine INFORMED
SUNY-Shine needs your help! In order for the fund to be effective, information about persons who are hospitalized, weddings, births, deaths, exceptional hardships, etc., need to be reported. Please do not assume that someone else will provide the information to the SUNY-Shine Committee. If anyone on campus has information that the SUNY-Shine Committee needs to be aware of, please take the time to phone Rose Thomas at x2748, or send a note to the Community Relations Office, 301 Netzer Administration Building. Funding for SUNY-Shine is made possible on an annual basis through gifts and grants to the College Foundation.
MOVING EQUIPMENT
The College is required by the State Comptroller to maintain accountability for its equipment at all times. SUNY Oneonta currently maintains inventory records of computers and other equipment particularly vulnerable to loss or theft with an original cost of $500 or more and other moveable equipment with an original cost of $1,500 or more. When equipment is moved between buildings and/or departments without notification to the Property Management Office the annual inventory process is unnecessarily complicated for the Departments involved and for Property Control; the otherwise positive outcome of any equipment audit is also jeopardized. When equipment has been or will be moved, notify the Property Management office immediately by email to frankljl@oneonta.edu or by memo to Janet Frankl B217 Milne Library. Provide the SUNY-Oneonta decal number, manufacturer's serial number, previous location and new location. Your cooperation will be very helpful and greatly appreciated. For further information, please contact Janet Frankl at x3227.
USING COLLEGE EQUIPMENT OFF CAMPUS
Appropriate approval is required for off-campus use of College-owned equipment. Send inquiries regarding off-campus use of College-owned equipment to Janet Frankl by email to frankljl@oneonta.edu or by memo to B217 Milne Library. Technology Services in Milne Library has independent authority to grant approval for equipment under its jurisdiction.
ADDING NEW EQUIPMENT TO INVENTORY
In most instances Property Management is routinely notified of new equipment purchases so items that meet the criteria are added to the College’s equipment inventory. Occasionally, however, a piece of equipment that should be added to the inventory does not come to the attention of the Property Management department. If your new equipment has not been tagged within 30 days of receipt, please contact Janet Frankl by email at frankljl@oneonta.edu or by memo to B217 Milne Library. Your assistance will be appreciated!
SURPLUS EQUIPMENT
All departments should direct requests to have surplus computer or related equipment removed from your department to Mark English, Manager - Technology Services via memo or email, englisme@oneonta.edu with copy to Janet Frankl at frankljl@oneonta.edu. Computer hard-drives will be reformatted, insuring removal of any sensitive information, & the equipment will be evaluated for possible reassignment to another department on campus. Direct surplus requests for non-computer equipment to Janet Frankl. Include the following data on all surplus requests: Description, SUNY-Oneonta decal number, manufacturer's serial number, condition and current location.
