All requests for information or proposals should be addressed to Ben Goldstein. All SAS faculty receive a request for proposal during the spring term. Decisions on support for new projects are made by the Humanities Computer Committee in consultation with senior staff in Academic Computing. CCAT has built one of world's largest electronic text archives. A major goal this year is to make this archive available from faculty desktop machines.
CCAT staff provides information and direct assistance to faculty in the use of technology.
General information on Humanities Computing is available via PennInfo, the University's online information service. The Center provides data, computing, and consulting services to faculty and graduate students in the social sciences. Nationally, it is the largest user of data from the Inter-University Consortium for Political and Social Research. It maintains a data archive of 800 tapes, available for use by the entire Penn community. The credit courses are listed under Economics, Sociology, Regional Science, and Social Science.
