An Introduction to H.E.L.P.
|
The H.E.L.P. site was launched in 1996 by Elizabeth Sommers, with the assistance of Patrick Galloway, to help humanities teachers and students
learn how to use computer technologies such as the Internet, the WWW, scholarly lists, hypertext, groupware, conferencing capabilities. It is a mosaic, a web spun by many weavers--faculty members and students, computer professionals and writers--meant to provide a navigational guide to the many new resources available to scholars in the Humanities. Thanks to Kevin Fellezs, the former graduate student in Humanities who continues to be so dedicated to H.E.L.P. Thanks, too, to the College of Humanities staff members who continue to shape this web site: Chris Clark, Rita Givens and Thomas Guynes. Special thanks to Chris Clark for contributing the new H.E.L.P. welcome page and the College of Humanities background and logo.

H.E.L.P.'s Purpose and Organization:
|
Each of the sections of H.E.L.P. serves a different purpose. The H.E.L.P. Home Page provides a table of contents to the site's many features. The glossary, as the name indicates, defines and interprets computer terms so that humanities scholars can both understand the terminology and take advantage of various computer functions. The Humanities Links, the largest section, provide connections to some of the finest scholarly work we have discovered on the World Wide Web; this section also contains links to the College of Humanities departmental, center and programmatic home pages. The Reference Desk is a comprehensive list of professional organizations, scholarly journals, publishers, educational resources, hardware and software companies and much more.
