Websites Worth Visiting

In each edition of Student Affairs Online, we hope to offer several website links which could be of interest to student affairs practitioners and researchers.

Dr. John Schuh, of Iowa State University, shared two of his favorite sites.

The National Center for Education Statistics produces essential reports for Dr. Schuh's work. He says he downloads reports nearly every week from NCES.

The Institute for Higher Education Policy also produces useful reports.

Those of you who are grappling with security problems and concerns may wish to visit:

The Center for Education and Research Information Assurance and Security

The Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST)

Security Focus

Some Other Sites of Interest

Journal of Computing in Higher Education. The name says it all....

EDUCAUSE. The website of a recent merger between CAUSE and Educomp.

One of the biggest challenges facing researchers who use the Internet is how to cite your references. Here's the latest word from APA on web references.

An article called "Impact of Information Technology on Higher Education" raises some interesting issues to consider for everyone in administration.

Although progress is being made, women are still in the minority of Internet users. WWWomen and cybergrrl are devoted to supporting female websurfers.

How do we know that women use the Internet less than men? "Some Demographics on the Internet" provides an online resource for user statistics.

Remember Mark Twain's observations about the three types of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics? JunkScience.com offers some much-needed context to many high profile studies by providing information on their methodologies and sponsorship. Very revealing.
