OP-T2-40: Materials Online

UCLA makes its course catalogs and course schedules available online at the following links: www.registrar.ucla.edu/schedule/schedulehome.aspx www.registrar.ucla.edu/catalog/catalog-curricul.htm While a limited amount of materials is still printed, UCLA still makes course directories, course schedules, and course catalogues available online. In addition, the university has switched to make W2 forms available online. UCLA is examining other potential paper publications that can be switched to online and the Chancellor’s office has requested that departments send online invitations and communications rather than paper. In an internal email, the following initiative was instituted. “Hard-copy “internal” marketing — brochures and other advertising materials sent by one department to another, or to internal audiences of faculty, students and staff — should be eliminated. Please use e-mail and the web for communications to internal audiences. ...Printed invitations can be replaced with E-vites, hard copy newsletters with email versions, etc. Such efforts reduce costs and serve UCLA's sustainability objectives. A reduction of print and proper utilization of electronic media also can be more effective, as well as less expensive.” UCLA is also looking into campus-wide savings in printing and publications.
