Computing Center Micro Workshops

Dan Albrich, <mailto:dalbrich@darkwing>, writes:

I often get people in my office who want to do some fairly complicated thing with a computer like dialing in from home and getting to campus/internet related information. Most of the people who come to me don't even know how to copy files. These workshops allow us to ramp these folks up who don't know very much about technology but really want to use it.

If you have colleagues who would benefit from introductory microcomputing workshops, encourage them to attend the Computing Center Micro Workshops. See <http://darkwing.uoregon.edu/~mcshtml/wrkshop.html> for a complete schedule and preregistration information.

New Media Center

Mike Holcomb, <mailto:mikeh@aaa>, writes:

The New Media Center is a recently established University of Oregon facility available to faculty who are interested in developing and publishing interactive, computer-based instructional materials and courseware. The New Media Center, in collaboration with Dynamix, Inc./Sierra, will provide access to multimedia hardware and software, technical and media design consulting, prototyping and referal to cooperative sources of support and expertise. Located in Suite 109 of the Riverfront Research Park, the New Media Center will also host workshops in the use of multimedia development tools, build and house a technology resource library and connect interested faculty to the New Media Center system which will ultimately comprise 100 Centers at academic sites, world-wide. Project development proposals from faculty will be reviewed throughout the year and some large projects may be housed in the New Media Center while they are in development. Faculty are encouraged to contact the New Media Center regarding any needs they might have in the area of new media development.

Further information on the New Media Center, including a request for proposals, is now available on line at <http://nmc.uoregon.edu>.

Online Journals

One of the premier American journals in the sciences is Science, published weekly by the AAAS. For several months, Science has been experimenting with limited World Wide Web publication. Their efforts can be found at <http://www.aaas.org/science/science.html>. The online version of Science is free, and includes different material from the prined version. In particular, although it includes a table of contents, it does not include the text of most news stories or research articles. However, it does include job advertising and is experimenting with publication of material that is not simply a copy of the paper version.

Of particular interest in the current issue of Science and published in full text on the web is the "Computer'95" issue. In particualr, take a look at the article "Indexing the Internet". See <http://sci.aaas.org/aaas/computers/>.

Administrativa

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>. This newsletter (as well as other FCN-related material) is available on line in <http://darkwing.uoregon.edu/~jqj/fcn/>.
