Humanist List:

I have got questions from several colleagues about programs
for social network analysis, but I do only have a 1988-vintage
article in 'Connections' to show them. Do you have:
- experience with the use of such programs
- knowledge about where to get them, via the Internet or
otherwise
- or bibliographical data on newer reviews (or other useful
works),
them please share your wisdom with me.

Subject: Favorite Computer-Assisted Studies

I have read much about the electronic resources being made
available in the humanities, and also reviewed Rosanne Potter's
excellent CHUM article about twenty five years of literary studies in
_Computers and the Humanities_, 25: 401-429, 1991.

What I don't have is a sense of the significance of these and other
studies -- which ones have actually made a difference on how scholars
think about a topic.

I believe that electronic texts do make a difference, but would
appreciate actual examples of those studies that have influenced you
in your thoughts about a topic in your area. In addition, examples
of how students who have undertaken a simple level of textual analysis
for writing papers have benefited from the new medium....

I am an historian (actually a graduate student), and interested in this
from the perspective of one who is trying to persuade other historians
to pursue computer- assisted textual analysis.

If this type of information is better obtained from a
discipline-specific discussion group, I would also appreciate the names
of those groups.

Thanks in advance.

While completing an article on the libraries of the future I
wanted to check whether the Institut d'Information Scientifique
et Technique (INIST) of the CNRS was only accessible to french
searchers or was open the all of us via the usual EARN, JANET or
INTERNET networks. The second question was whether their
bibliographical database was accessible *online* to CNRS members?

Thanks.
Michel.
