Hi there,

I am involved in teaching and providing a statistical consultancy service
at the Biometry Section of the Department of Animal Science, Faculty of
Agriculture, University of Cukurova in Turkey. Our University has one of
Turkey's largest Faculties of Agriculture. However, there are only four
statisticians specializing in Biometry, consisting of a Professor, an
Associated Professor, a Doctor and myself.

Our main objectives are to provide a statistical/computing consultancy 
and teaching service, but these have been a great problem as our 
Biometry Section has such a limited number of statisticians. Our clients
are faculty graduate students working on research dissertations and 
other technical staff. Our teaching programme covers all students 
attending courses at the various departments of the Faculty of 
Agriculture. However, as there are no specialized staff in computing, 
these statisticians are required to provide a computing advisory service
as well as a teaching and statistical consultancy. 

When offering a statistical/computing consultancy and teaching service
to a large faculty, it is of course necessary to have experienced
statisticians. This could be possible if our existing statisticians were
to be trained with the help and collaboration of the universities which
have been carrying out teaching and consultancy in statistics and
computing. In future, as the University expands several graduate may be
required to attend MSc or PhD courses in Biometry at overseas
universities that we are in collaboration with.

We would be grateful if you could provide us with any information
relating to conducting a consultancy service (statistical/computing) and
also to organizing a teaching course for Agriculture students and MSc
and PhD students in Biometry. We would also be grateful for any
documentation including articles and video tapes (preferably Beta
system) etc. and the names and addresses of universities which provide a
consultancy and teaching service in statistics and computing. 

We look forward to hearing from you in due course.

For and on behalf of
Cukurova University
