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:
-
By the Numbers - Not
really a column, but a new
feature, giving you a glimpse behind the scenes of the volumes
of data, spam, etc. processed, managed, and otherwise handled
here at UNT.
-
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 has a few
things to say about the RIAA and their approach to
protecting "intellectual property rights worldwide and
the First Amendment rights of artists." To find
out what the fuss is all about, click on
the Network Connection link above to read "Bullies
Still."
-
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 link is the "UNT Feral Cat Rescue
Group." Click on the link
above and check it out.
-
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.
Classes are now being offered in "Intermediate SPSS,"
"Intermediate SAS," "Introduction to Stata," "Intermediate
Stata," "New Technologies for Survey Research," and/or
"Introduction to R and S-Plus." If you have a group that
needs a specific class, it may be possible to arrange a
special class just for them.
Click on the Short Courses link above for more information.
-
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
for September 18, 2007 are available this month.
Additionally, the list of IRC Members has been updated.
-
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.
