This page tells you how to migrate a mailing list from the Informatics service (lists.inf) to the Information Services (IS) Sympa Mailing List service.
You can find more information regarding this via our blog post:

It is a legal requirement for public sector websites to have a web accessibility statement. You must ensure that any webpages you publish within Informatics are accessible, and have an accessibility statement that is viewable and accurate. Ideally it would be linked to from every page to which it applies, eg in the footer.
The University suggests a statement like this:
The University mail service has enabled the security feature called SafeLinks.
Here's the University's page about Safelinks:

At the beginning of October 2022, Microsoft made changes to the University email service. As a result, some email clients were no longer able to access emails on the University's servers. This page explains the change.
Many Informatics users are already making use of the centrally provided research data services. To illustrate the wide variety of services available, and the uses to which they can be put, here are a few user stories to give you some ideas of what you might use these services for.
Data management is a general term covering how you organise, structure, store and care for the data used or generated during the lifetime of a research project. A useful overview can be found here:
A Guide to Research Data Management at Edinburgh
The University of Edinburgh Research Data Management Service includes:
The web services homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk and groups.inf.ed.ac.uk are configured to support our local Cosign (weblogin.inf) authentication service.
See - https://computing.help.inf.ed.ac.uk/cosign
Both services also have an "EASE" (now Your University Login) aware version.
The EASE configured services are called ease.homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk and ease.groups.inf.ed.ac.uk.
From a DICE machine you can access this filespace as follows:
From the Places menu select Connect to Server. A dialog box will appear. Here's an example of how to fill in the fields:
This is where the printers are in the School of Informatics, and what each printer can do.
IS call the process of adding printers to your device "adding a print queue".
NOTE the print queue should already be configured on Managed Windows and DICE machines.
If you need to set up printing on Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS or Android, see the IS documentation.
