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, Dr. Rich Herrington begins a new series called "Open Source Technology in the Classroom." There are also some announcements about RSS Blogs and RSS Surveys. Check it out!

  • 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 laments that "It Won't Work in my Browser."  Click on the Network Connection link to find out what would cause him to say this.

  • 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. The "Link of the Month" is brought to you again by the Information Security folks. This month read all about "Identity theft/Fraud."

  • 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 fills you in on "Adobe ColdFusion and Apache:
    Limitations with Global Jrun Settings."

  • 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. Summer Short Courses are currently in progress and a new one has just been added. "Introduction to LaTeX" should be of particular interest to graduate students. Read all about it!

  • 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. The minutes published this month are for June 20, 2006.

  • 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.
