User services in the Mid-Illinois Computer Cooperative

Abstract	The Mid-Illinois Computer Cooperative (MICC) was established in 1974 with the primary mission of supplying supplementary computer services for the research and instructional programs of its five member universites: Eastern Illinois University (EIU), Illinois State University (ISU), Sangamon State University (SSU), Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville (SIU-E), and Western Illinois University (WIU). MICC functions as a conventional 'star' network (see Figure 1). A Contral Data Cyber 7214, located in Edwardsville, Illinois, is connected by leased, voice-grade telephone lines to member campuses. Both batch and interactive terminals are supported. There is one RJE terminal and anywhere from 7 to 20 interactive terminals on each campus (see Figure 2). The KRONOS operating system is used and a wide variety of languages and application packages are supported. Each of the five member institutions has a separate, stand-alone computer facility. These local installations, which range in size from a Xerox 530 to an IBM 370/145, are used to handle the administrative work load and that portion of the academic work load which requires high speed batch I/O. MICC policies are established by an operating board which is composed of two representatives from each institution and one representative from IEC. Policy decisions are implemented and operational direction provided by an executive director who reports to the Board. The staff of MICC has been kept small by design. Most of the direct interaction with users is handled by user coordinators, i.e., individuals from the staffs of the member universities who have been assigned to help develop MICC usage. A single person is designated as User Coordinator for each university although that person may, in turn, direct a staff of several full and/or part-time consultants.
