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, Patrick McLeod gives you detailed instructions on "Installing SPSS 14." Additionally, he mentions that some changes that have been made to the Zope Survey Server.

This month, Dr. Baczewski talks about "The Next Big Thing." Get in on the ground floor.

  • 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's feature is "UNT Information Security - The Video." Check it out!

  • 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 Shannon Peevey gets technical with "Easing Web Farm Configuration With Mod_Macro."

  • 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. The spring Short Course have begun. Surf over to the Short Courses page for a list of courses that are being offered. Classes still available are: Intermediate SPSS, Introduction to SAS Programming, Intermediate SAS, Introduction to Stata, Intermediate Stata, Workshop in R & S-Plus Programming I, Workshop in R & S-Plus Programming II, New Technologies for Survey Research I, New Technologies for Survey Research II, Getting Started with Dreamweaver, and Moving from FrontPage to Dreamweaver.       

  • 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. No minutes were available to be published 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.
