The URL is the same — http://ist.mit.edu — but the Information Services & Technology (IS&T) website has been redesigned from the ground up. It’s now equally responsive to users and their devices.
At your service
IS&T provides a wide range of IT services to the MIT community — so wide that searching for services hasn’t always been intuitive. In the redesigned website, categories, content and cross references have all been defined by community members.
The result is a new Service Catalog, available from the IS&T homepage under the Our Services section. There are a few ways to access this catalog.
By popular demand
The IS&T homepage features the department’s most popular offerings front and center. There are five color-coded main sections, with hover (mega menu) or click options:
Scroll down and you can quickly click to get your annual certificate for secure web services at MIT. You can also view the Top 5 Q&As from the Knowledge Base, the status of campuswide services, and training options.
The homepage wraps up with the latest IS&T headlines and calendar highlights.
Responsive design
The IS&T website has been redesigned with MIT users in mind — a responsiveness that’s even tailored to the computer or device you’re using. The website displays a user-friendly format on any device, whether you’re browsing on a desktop computer, a laptop, a tablet, such as the iPad or Kindle Fire, or a mobile phone.
You can see a quick demonstration of this responsiveness when you view the website on a desktop computer: as you narrow the browser window, the site moves from three columns to two columns, typical for a tablet, to one column, the optimal layout for mobile phones.
IS&T encourages you to explore its redesigned website from your office or home or while you’re out and about. If you have questions or comments, send mail to istweb@mit.edu.
