Hi Sam--I'm using TAMS amd doing word counts of articles. It's free here: tamsys.sourceforge.net The downside is that everything has to be in rtf format, but it will do word counts and other coding.

new Ph.D. program
by Sabryna Cornish 11 Oct '06

11 Oct '06

Hi there--In case you know any students looking for a great Ph.D. program (notice the familiar name in the faculty:-)) Sabryna October 11, 2006 Dear Colleague: The UIC Communication Department announces a Ph.D. program with a new technology emphasis. Could you please encourage promising Master's-level graduate students to apply? The program recognizes the prominence of new media, and aims to develop research strategies to study the consequences of channels such as the internet. The program builds on faculty and university strength and research and also on the successful M.A. program in Communication. The Department has unique structural advantages. We work closely with the UIC Electronic Visualization Laboratory housed in the Computer Science Department. A joint effort of the College of Engineering and School of Art & Design, the lab is the oldest formal collaboration between engineering and art in the United States and is the pre-eminent virtual reality and high-speed networking research lab in the world. The Department is the birthplace and current home of New Media and Society, the leading journal in the field. Our central location in an international communication hub enhances research opportunities. Besides national media outlets and production companies, Chicago is headquarters to Motorola, Tellabs, SBC and new media companies and hosts one of the first and busiest Internet Network Access Points (NAP). The Department hosted a recent Summit on Industry-Academy Alliances, and its advisory board of ranking executives in new technology and related industries will allow students to apply their knowledge and research skills to real-world settings. Besides well-known scholars working in technology, the faculty includes scholars in fields such as politics, visual communication, rhetoric, diversity, history, as well as other areas, along with younger scholars. We hope your top Master's graduates will pursue admission. The enclosed poster has a reply card, and the brochure provides program details. If you need more information, please see the web site http://www.uic.edu/depts./comm, and do not hesitate to get in touch with me.

ICT's Timeline: thanks and first draft
by Jeremy Depauw 11 Oct '06

11 Oct '06

Dear all ! Firstly, I would like to thank readers who have taken some of their time to answer my question about ICT's Timeline. Lots of suggestions were very usefull. Now I would like to present the first draft I made since I manages to catch a first wave of dates and ideas. To view it, feel free to click on that link <http://dev.ulb.ac.be/%7Ejdepauw/telecharger/EN_timeline-TIC.pdf>. I think that my info are still too "computer oriented" but by the way, I am not sure there is so much other fields of innovation for my question. I translated it very quickly and the layout is still to be improved. My new motivation is here to ask for an advice : should I consider the history of "databases" as relevant in my reflection and should I link it to the developpement of on-line ressources ? (which I couldn't take into account yet) -- Jeremy Depauw The Power of Knoweldge Sharing and Skills Synegism Journal de recherche: http://dev.ulb.ac.be/~jdepauw/dotclear/index.php

Re: [Air-l] conference - the aftermath
by Rivka Niesten 11 Oct '06

11 Oct '06

All AoIR Conference attendees On the way back home from the conference throughout the boring flight my mind was ticking over with all the new things I had learned and thinking about all the nice new friends I had made. I thought wouldn't it be great to somehow crystallise the whole experience in terms of new knowledge and resources for the community. I thought who will do this? Then I thought why not me? My plan is to everyone in our community for some input - a paragraph or so of your personal highlights and any links you think are really good and then I will summarise it, try to get it into some comprehensible whole, then offer it to the AUC (Apple University Consortium) magazine "Wheels for the Mind" for publication. This will promote the AoIR in Australia, and acknowledge Apple's role in providing the computers for the conference. In addition I will need some hi res pics if possible. Does anyone have any of these, particularly featuring Apple computers? If there is sufficient response to be worthwhile, I will also post the results to a website or we can use some other form of technology to disseminate the information. What do you think? Rivka
