The ResNet organization facilitates information exchange, providing an opportunity for ResNet, IT, and housing professionals to discuss their common challenges and share solutions in supporting students and their computing
BEGuN IN ThE MID-1980S, residential computer networks in American college and university residence halls and the housing and Information Technology (IT) organizations that support and maintain those networks have grown ubiquitous. An ethnographic content analysis of the abstracts and titles of programs presented from 1995 to 2006 at the annual ResNet Symposium reveals the implementation, support, and organizational challenges that persisted throughout those years for college and university residential computer networks. The analysis also identifies specific time periods where certain challenges dominated the presentation topics. The variety of themes identified in these presentations supports the assertion that “ResNet services are often at the intersection of academe, residential life, and technology” (Futey & Bender, 2005, p. 10) and provides a view of the obstacles IT administrators and housing officers have overcome in constructing and maintaining residential computer networks and supporting the students, faculty, and staff that use them.
INTRODUCTION
Since their inception in the mid-1980s (Auguston, 1988; King, 1988), computer networks in college and university residence halls have offered residential students increasingly higher speeds of access to both the Internet and internal campus academic and administrative information resources. Although many networks were created initially as a response to market pressures and as a way to entice students to live on campus (Futey & Bender, 2005),
