Those of you who are not members of the MLA might be interested to
know that the latest issue of the *MLA Newsletter* which arrived at
the end of last week includes a "Draft Statement on Computer Support".
(pp. 11-12). The authors ask for comments addressed to
Bettina Huber, MLA, 10 Astor Place, NY, NY 10003-6981. It addresses
Guidelines for Access and Support, including:
1. Personal computer and printer
2. Choice of hardware and software
3. Technical support and training
4. Computer networks
5. Integrating technology into teaching and learning
6. Development of educational materials and tools
7. Recognition of contributions by faculty members
8. Responsibility for graduate student training

If you're a member, write! If not, get a copy from a neighbor/colleague,
and write! If the MLA backs computer support and training, this will be
a step towards acceptance in Academe.

RE: MACINTOSH SOFTWARE REVIEWER NEEDED!


November 23, 1992

The Computer-Assisted Research Forum (CARF) is a a non-technical
bulletin for academics and educators in the humanities. Currently
published three times a year (in September, January and April) CARF
seeks to help humanities scholars better utilize personal computer
technology to perform academic and educational tasks. It includes
both articles and software reviews in an attractive scholarly
bulletin format.

I am presently seeking someone to provide a brief review of
TRANSPARENT LANGUAGE (a foreign language reading tutor) for the Mac
If you are an experienced Mac user with some knowledge of
educational software please contact me for details.

Reviewers maintain the package reviewed as well as receive a
complimentary subscription to CARF.


With thanks,

Todd Blayone
Editor, CARF
