Academic Catalogs Going Paperless!
January 21, 2009
UT Knoxville has contracted with Digital Architecture to use their acalog ACMS(tm) academic catalog content management system. ACMS(tm) will enable students, faculty and staff to print only the sections and pages relevant to them or the entire catalog if desired. The online catalogs will allow users to search by keywords to locate information.
As students browse through the catalogs, they will be able to save information in the "My Portfolio" component which will contain all the requirements they need to plan their academic programs as they progress toward graduation (course descriptions, program requirements, general education requirements, academic policies, etc.).
Each year, after the new catalogs are online, past catalogs maintained in the acalog ACMS(tm) will be archived and easily accessible by a pull-down menu. The Web-based administrative component will provide powerful ways to manage and make annual curricular and policy updates.
