Web Publishing @ UMHS

UMHS staff who wish to develop or maintain Web sites for their departments, programs or projects may use the web server run by MCIT (internal site) at www.med.umich.edu (known as MED-INFO on the internal Novell network). Here's how:

  1. Request access to the webserver
    • The www.med.umich.edu server should be used only for publishing UMHS departmental or project-related materials. The U-M Information Technology Central Services (ITCS) provides instructions on how to publish your personal homepage on their web servers.
    • To publish on a web server other than www.med.umich.edu, you'll need to contact whoever is listed as the contact on that Web site.
  2. Learn about HTML and web publishing
  3. Learn about the web environment at UMHS.
    How the UMHS external and internal Web sites are set up, what kind of publishing software MCIT will install for you for free, and technical information about the webserver.
