Does anyone know the "appropriate listserv machine" for the newly announced
list, emusic-l and emusic-d? This is the only list on the North Dakota
list that doesn't names its host.

Subject: Recommendations for a humanities computing center
[The following series of questions, interesting for many of us, have been
sent me by Roy Flannagan. I will be making my own answer, but perhaps
other Humanists would like to help the cause by contributing their
practical wisdom and experience. Please do so on Humanist. --W.M.]
I have the slim possibility for starting a computing in the humanities center
at Ohio University, and I would like to know what your summary knowledge
(after the request you made for the ideal lab was answered and the
answers tabulated or digested) is on the following big subjects: (1)
ideal equipment, in terms of a list of hardware including DOS, UNIX, and
Mac-oriented machinery; also some idea of how many machines in
proportion to the size of the university; (2) restrictions on faculty
and graduate users (how many undergraduates do you allow to use the center?)
and regulation or restriction in the usage of
time (how much use of one machine in monopoly, and how controlled); (3)
security necessary to guard against theft, piracy, or viral infection;
(4) ideal qualifications of the director; (5) job-descriptions and
qualifications for ideal employees, from "secretaries" to data-base
searchers to programmers. I am also interested in records of usage: who
uses the hardware and why. Are the most frequent users personnel from
English, Linguistics, Languages, History, Sociology, Education, and, if
so, in what order of frequency? How important is electronic mail to
such a center, and how can something like on-line or telephone charges
be calculated for all users? Exactly how should such a center be
connected with the library? with the university computer center?

Regarding Donald Spaeth's recent comment, perhaps someone could define
the meaning of "we are facing a shortage of c. 30,000 IT professionals".
What is "IT"? Thanks. --Joel Goldfield J_GOLDFI@UNHH.bitnet
