Technology & Institutional Research
The Technology and Institutional Research division of Merced College (TIR for short) is made up of four departments.

  • Information Technology Services (ITS) under the leadership of Donald Peterson provides the backbone of the technology services including all of the computer systems, networks, telecommunications services, and the software and staff to keep the college humming on a daily basis. The ITS department also provides service and support desk functions for the college staff and faculty.

  • Online Education Systems under the leadership of Steven Alexander provides and maintains all of our services associated with our distance education or online class offerings. The department includes a full time Student Helpdesk to support the technology needs of all of our students and also provides training and support for our faculty who teach online.
  • Grants and Institutional Research department  under the leadership of Cherie Davis, which as the name implies, develop and pursue grants for the college and also provide and administer the research services needed for grants and for required state and federal reports.

  • The Learning Resources Center (LRC) under the leadership of Dr. Susan Walsh is more than just a library as the signage on the building states. The LRC is a modern state-of-the-art department providing all kinds of information and reference services both in traditional printed form and in electronic and audio visual forms.  The LRC also provides instructional services directly to students to assist them in learning to use all of our reference and research facilities. The LRC also includes a complete Audio Visual department to support our faculty in the classrooms, again providing state-of-the-art equipment and training.
