Use HCMC Workstations
The HCMC houses about a dozen work stations with a wide range of application programs running on them. In addition, we maintain a number of servers running a range of services to support the activities of the office and projects we're involved in. These resources may be used by HCMC staff and by staff working on research projects through our office.
Workstations
Part of the HCMC's mandate is to improve technology-based academic skills in the Humanities faculty and students. One way we do this is by housing work stations in our facility for project work by faculty or their student assistants.
Research Workstations in HCMC
The HCMC has a number of workstations available for use by faculty, research assistants or work-study students. No matter who is actually going to be using the workstation, the faculty member must make the request to the Head of Research and Development. We'll work out exactly what equipment you need, training you may need that we can provide and schedule time for you on one of our development workstations. The equipment is available between 8:30 and 4:30, Monday to Friday. You benefit from working as a colleague in a real development environment. The HCMC benefits from new ideas and perspectives you bring and by making maximum use of our specialized software and hardware. The Faculty of Humanities benefits from the improved quality of work produced collaboratively.
We have a number of Linux, Windows and Mac OS computers with a wide range of software on them: audio capture and editing, video capture and editing, scanning and image editing, specialized text editors and Integrated Development Environments and more.
Access to Servers
The HCMC administers a number of servers to support project work. At the simplest, we provide disk space for backups of development files. We also maintain servers running a range of packages that might be of value as a back-end for your project as you are developing it. We provide these services only for projects in development through our office. We do not provide general web hosting services. For more details or enquiries, contact Stewart (Head of R&D).
