According to the National Center for Education Statistics, the number of students using computers in the first through fourth years of college increased from 39.2 percent in 1989 to 55.2 percent in October 1993. 1 Computers are everywhere on campus-in classrooms, labs, dorms, and offices. This widespread availability of technology in higher education has raised the hopes for radical changes and improvements in the teaching and learning process. While students have eagerly embraced technology, using computers as tools for communication, composition, and research, faculty, on the other hand, have used it much less in their work. Researchers speculate that one reason might be that faculty have experienced little or no computer training.2 This phenomenon has created a unique challenge for those of us who train computer users. We must nurture and expand the skills of computer savvy students. At the same time, we must also educate faculty about the value of technology in meeting their teaching goals and objectives.","PeriodicalId":168438,"journal":{"name":"ACM Siguccs Newsletter","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116986168","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I see this position in hotel companies (with national sales representatives), and most recently I have seen it in the management company that is contracted to manage the cooperative where I live. These positions are often precarious because they require the professional who is filling them to act as an intermediary, sometimes having to deliver unwelcome news to the parties they represent --- or even worse to the organization that pays their salary. There are some common traps that are easy to fall into if the management is not enlightened in the art of maximizing resources, or if the professional filling the job isn't strong and confident.","PeriodicalId":168438,"journal":{"name":"ACM Siguccs Newsletter","volume":"117 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117277200","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Members of the larger community, in return, can offer additional breadth and depth of experience and a \"real world\" perspective on technology.At the same time, these partnerships raise significant management issues, including funding of hardware and network connections; equal access for all citizens; handling concerns about socially unacceptable, unethical, or criminal activity; bandwidth issues; and administering World Wide Web spaces in the community context.

In fact, the need for this type of service wasn't present ten years ago. At that time computers were rather small, and research processing was a hands-on operation. Most of the computer users were from the hard sciences --- math and physics. Very few social scientists had the background or desire to learn how to program the computer to perform the data analyses required in their research. BMD, one of the first statistical packages, was begun in 1964. This was followed by SPSS in 1965, and SAS in 1966. These packages were developed in response to a need --- the need to simplify the process of data handling and statistical analyses. At the same time, however, those packages opened the world of computers to many new users who had little or no technical background in computer science. User Services Departments have evolved in large part to meet the need for assistance by such unsophisticated users.","PeriodicalId":168438,"journal":{"name":"ACM Siguccs Newsletter","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125320365","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
