ABSTRACT
As growing numbers of users become aware of the communications capabilities available to them in the university's mainframe computing environment, the need for a strong educational program emphasizing ethical and responsible use of the resources becomes more and more urgent. Working with an ever-changing student user population challenges the User Services staff of the Computing Center of the University of Tennessee with the need to inform users of policy regarding appropriate use of the system. This paper focuses on the basic types of student computer access at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville and the methods used to educate local students about expected behavior in using e-mail, bulletin boards, direct messaging, and Relay.
