NEW SOFTWARE INFORMATION CATALOGING PROJECT - SUN ACADEMIC SOFTWARE CATALOG
The Education Products Division (EPD) at Sun Microsystems is committed
to encouraging and fostering the development of innovative computing
solutions in Higher Education and Scientific Research. As part of this
goal, Sun is cataloging information about software distributed by
colleges, universities and research labs for use on Sun Workstations.
This information will be distributed in hardcopy catalog form, the Sun
Academic Software Catalog, and in the future in a browsable data base.
The information collected for this project will also be shared with the
EDUCOM/OCLC higher education software cataloging project.
TO SUBMIT SOFTWARE INFORMATION
To receive an online or hardcopy version of the Application Form, send
email to univapps@sun.com (or call or write to the above address). If
sending email, please use "application request" in the Subject line.
We're trying to get as many listings as possible in the next 3 weeks
(in time for the EDUCOM show in October), but we will be taking
applications forever!
We are looking for software that:
* has been developed and used by colleges, universities, and research labs.
* is being distributed to the academic/research community either by
individual software developers or by institutional software distribution
centers. It may also be available to corporate licensees.
* has direct applicability to the academic/research environment.
* has been reasonably well tested by the developer.
We do NOT intend to catalog all public domain software which is
available in various archives, but we ARE interested in this software
if it is of particular interest to the academic/research community.
We're also interested in including information about how to reach the
various net software archives.
TO RECEIVE THE ACADEMIC SOFTWARE CATALOG
The new Academic Software Catalog will be sent to everyone who submits
software information for the catalog, plus:
Sun Education/Reseach Customers IN the U.S.
If you recently received a copy of the Catalyst Education Edition, you
will automatically receive the new Academic Software Catalog. If you
are a U.S. Sun customer NOT on our mailing list, but would like to
receive the new catalog and future EPD Software Programs information,
please send the form at the end of this file to univapps@sun.com with
"mailing list" in the subject line.
Sun Education/Reseach Customers OUTSIDE the U.S.
Please contact your local Sun sales representative to express your
interest in receiving this catalog. As soon as they're available,
we'll send them out to our International sales offices.
WORK IN PROGRESS
If you have software that is not ready for distribution, please submit
it when you're ready to distribute. We're also looking for application
stories to run in the Sun Technology Journal and other publications. If
you're working on a project that has wide applicability to other
universities, or is in an interesting area of research or instruction,
please send mail (electronic or surface) to the address listed at the
beginning of this message. Include the following information:
