Computing Resources

This page is designed to provide information about computing and data resources available to affiliates of the Department of Sociology. Please refer to this location for current information about resources, services and policies.

We have shifted to wiki technology for this site because of the ease of maintaining a body of knowledge that rapidly changes. Note that keyword searching of titles and text is supported to pinpoint topics of interest.

The goal is to be comprehensive, current and accurate. Please pass along suggestions for additions, updates and corrections to the IT staff.
