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 reminds everyone about "Using
Statistical Software in Classroom Instruction: S-Plus/R, An
Accessible, Low Cost Alternative ."
-
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 talks about
the possible implications of a deal between Microsoft and Novell in his
article "Peace Breaks Out in Redmond."
-
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 focus is on the UNT Events Calendar.
-
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 Eric Peevey continues his discussion of
Zope with "Zope Pluggable Auth Service: Adding Users to
Groups."
-
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. Short Courses
are over for the fall, but there are still other training
opportunities. Check it out!
-
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 October 17, 2006
minutes are included this time.
-
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.
