    Copy Services

    It is an SSI tradition to provide hard copies of lecture notes prior to lectures, and in order to have sufficient copies, we ask that you provide your talk to us 48 hours prior to your scheduled lecture date.

    To ensure readablity of the copies, we suggest that you use lighter backgrounds if possible. If you must use a dark background for your slides, please submit an additional copy of your notes with a lighter background for printing.

    How to submit your talk

    1. Naming your files
    2. Submitting your files
    3. Notifying us
    Naming your files

    Be sure to label your talk with your last name and the scheduled date of your talk (e.g. wilson071706.pdf). If there is more than one part to your talk, be sure to differentiate between the parts (e.g. wilson071706_1.pdf & wilson071706_2.pdf)

    Submitting your files

    You can submit your files either by FTP, memory stick or email. See below for details...
