                COMPUTER-ASSISTED RESEARCH FORUM
     A Reader-friendly Bulletin for Academics and Educators
                        in the Humanities
____________________________________________________________________


      The Computer-Assisted Research Forum (CARF), in its second
year, is currently a print-based bulletin published three times
during the year.

Intended Reader

      The humanities scholar-teacher and the student (from first
year university/college/seminary to the doctoral level) are the focus
of attention. Support staff will benefit from listening in.

Disciplinary Focus

      CARF spreads its web across all areas of the humanities. Sug-
gestions for articles and reviews, which can be sent by FAX or e-
mail, are always warmly received. (CARF extends an invitation to the
experienced user, and scholar with special computer-related
interests, to join with the editorial team as a reviewer or advisor.)

General Purposes

      CARF seeks to meet the essential, "real-world," computer-
information needs of the intended reader. For the beginner, CARF
presents ~how-to~ articles introducing technologies and resources
relevant to humanities research. For the intermediate reader, more
sophisticated articles dealing with a variety of important and stim-
ulating issues are presented. All readers will benefit from our
software and literature review sections.
      Our fundamental assumption is that "computer literacy" goes
well beyond the mechanics of computing, and that one does not need
to be a computer scientist to contribute to critical thinking about
computers and technological impact. Since many issues of concern to
humanities scholars are totally eclipsed by "main-line" computer
publications CARF welcomes submissions which analyze technological
impact from humanistic perspectives.

Platforms Supported

      Both PC (i.e., IBM and compatible) and Macintosh platforms are
supported. The vast majority of humanities scholars utilize one of
these two types of systems.
