Departmental Web Directory Request Form

Use this form to request disk space for a Web page for a department, lab, group, or campus unit. One person will "own" (in the Unix sense) the directory, but additional people may be granted permission to edit the Web files. All of the people designated to work with department Web files must have personal accounts on the ACCC's tigger Unix server.

The disk space allocated for departmental Web pages will not count against anyone's personal home directory disk quota.
You do not need a departmental account for Web publishing. What you will need is a departmental Web directory and a list of the netids of the people in your department who are authorized to edit the files in this directory.
Each of the people authorized to work with your departmental directory will access it using his or her netid and ACCC password.
Departmental Web directories are on tigger (tigger.uic.edu), so everyone who will edit your department Web page must have an account on tigger. If you don't have a tigger account, create one now online. Or bring your i-card to an ACCC consultant or lab attendant and they will open it for you.
The person's whose netid is given in question 3 below will receive a reply by email which will say where the departmental Web directory is, what its URL is, and what the path to the files on tigger.uic.edu will be. The people whose netids are listed in question 4 will receive a copy of this email message. You will be able to ask additional questions if you wish.
If you want your page listed on the UIC Academic Departments, Colleges, Programs page, send an email message to www@uic.edu requesting it when it is ready. Take a look at the UIC Academic Departments, Colleges, Programs page before you send your message so that you can tell them exactly where on that page your page listing belongs.
Question 3.2 What's the real UNIX directory of my Web page? in the Web Publishing FAQ explains how to translate your class URL to a Unix directory path.

1.	Full name of your department, lab, group, or campus unit, and the department that it is in. (We need the latter to figure out where to put your Web directory in the UIC Web tree.) For example, Harpo Marx Memorial Programming Group in the Academic Computing and Communications Center, ACCC. (Please don't just give initials; we don't always know what they mean.)
2.	Your suggestion for the name of the Web directory. (For example, for the Harpo Marx Memorial Programming Group, accc/harpomarx)
3.	Netid of Directory Owner; normally a faculty or staff member who will direct the project or assume long-term responsibility for the Web page. The owner must have an existing tigger account, but does not have to be the principal hands-on HTML expert.
4.	Netids of other people who will be granted write access to the class Web files; these people also should have accounts on tigger:
5.	Purpose or brief description:
