General Guidelines for IATH Fellows
The General Guidelines contain advice for project design, management, and planning and information about some IATH policies. It will, we hope, help new fellows take maximum advantage of their fellowship period, and build long-lasting and useful scholarly works.
System Status Page
This page shows status of the parts of the IATH system. There are two parts to this page: Project Status and Specific Services. Project Status shows the status of server services for each project. Click on the project name to see a list of the services that it uses. There will be either a green check mark or a frowning face next to the name of each service, indicating whether the service is actively running or not. Specific Services shows the status of categories of services (Tomcat, dynaweb, etc.) that run on the IATH servers. Select a category from the drop-down list to see a list of those services. There will be either a green check mark or a frowning face next to the name of each service, indicating whether the service is actively running or not.You can send an e-mail to the IATH systems staff by clicking on "Submit a Problem," in the upper left hand corner of the System Status page. Please be sure to include your e-mail addresss if you would like a system administrator to get in touch with you.
