Don't Forget Our Monthly Columns!

By Claudia Lynch, Benchmarks Online Editor

In addition to our feature articles, Benchmarks Online publishes monthly columns that are focused on specific aspects of computing here at UNT (and beyond, in some cases). Check out what is waiting for you this month:

• RSS Matters - "RSS Matters" is the monthly column written by the Research and Statistical Support Group in Academic Computing Services. Their articles focus on topics of a statistical and/or research methods nature. This month's article is by Patrick McLeod and is titled "A.M.: Faculty Evaluations After the Mainframe."

• The Network Connection - "The Network Connection" may well be the longest running column in computer publishing history. Certainly in University of North Texas computer publishing history.

This month, Dr. Baczewski asks the musical question "The Newest 'Napster'?" Go to the article and find out the latest on this timely topic.

• Link of the Month - As it says on the top of the "Link of the Month" page, "each month we highlight an Internet, USENET Special Interest Group (SIG), or similar mailing list(s) or Website(s)." Lately we have been confining ourselves to featuring UNT specific sites. This month learn about "Turnitin.com at UNT - Plagiarism Prevention."

• WWW@UNT.EDU - "WWW@UNT.EDU" is a monthly column written by the Central Web Support Group in Academic Computing Services. The topics usually focus, in some way, on World-Wide-Web-related issues. This month, meet the staff of Central Web Support.

• Short Courses - Every semester, Academic Computing Services (ACS) offers short courses on computer-related topics, many of them having to do with statistical research. This column keeps you up-to-date on what is being offered and when as well as other training opportunities. Fall Short Courses are over and the spring classes haven't started yet, but there is still training in other areas available and listed on this page.

• IRC News - As their Webpage says, "the IRC is an advisory and oversight body created to foster communication and cooperation between and among UNT information resources providers and users." We publish the minutes of the IRC meetings each month, when they are available. There are no minutes this month.

• Staff Activities - This column focuses on new employees, people who are no longer employed at the Computing and Information Technology Center, awards and recognitions and other items of interest featured here.
