This is a very odd request but I know that you net-people will
know the answer if there is one.
My wife is a history major. The research class she is currently
taking is using a text called "The Historian and the Computer".
It is a very well written text giving the non-computer person an
introduction into what a computer is good for, how to enter data,
how to find a competent programmer, etc. The only problem is that
the book was written in 1971 and is outdated. Judging from the
small portions I read it was outdated shortly after going to press.
The intro to the book gives good clues as to its purpose
"to guide historians in working with computers..."
" This guide should permit the historian whose previous experience
has been confined solely to Plain Old History to use modern
electronic techniques"
If it isn't obvious by now, I am looking for a more recent text.
Any help would be extremely helpful to my wife.
Please respond directly to me as I do not subscribe to net.books and
this is of limited interest I am sure. Thanks alot.
