The Departmental Computing group is an informal group of faculty, students, and
computing support staff. In addition to irredularly scheduled meetings, the
group maintains a mailing list for sharing information and concerns, and
welcomes new members. From a recent posting by Dan Albrich
<mailto:dalbrich@oregon> describing the group:
The purpose of the group is to communicate between departments
about computing related concerns. In many cases one of the departments on this
campus has already solved a problem that your group experiences. Sharing our
problems and solutions with each other keeps us from having to reinvent the
wheel. There are many other purposes including discussing and educating
ourselves on new technology and information about centrally provided services
like dial-up connections provided by the Computing Center. We are departmental
computing and lab support staff, interested faculty, directors of programs, and
others. There are many levels of involvement. Some just subscribe to this
mailing list for information, others attend all the meetings.
Any message sent to <mailto:deptcomp@oregon> gets sent to all subscribed
members. Anyone with email access can subscribe to the list: Send mail to
<mailto:mailserv@oregon>. In the body of the message include the single
line: "subscribe deptcomp".

One well-established referreed electronic journal is the Journal of
Biological Chemistry, <http://www-jbc.stanford.edu/jbc/>.
Anyone interested in the future of electronic journals should take a look at
last week's Science. The editorial in the 4 Aug 1995 issue, p. 615, titled
"'Wired' Science or Whither the Printed Page" offers an important perspective
on the future of scholarly publishing.
The UO Faculty Consultants Network Newsletter is published (approximately)
twice a month. If you have materials for inclusion in the newsletter you can
send them to <mailto:jqj@darkwing.uoregon.edu>. This newsletter (as well
as other FCN-related material) is available on line in
