description Computers have been used in the humanities subjects for many years; however, only in the last few years has it been possible to access sufficient hardware and software and incorporate computerized research methods into teaching. This book addresses the problem of which aspects of computing need to be taught to non-scientific people, and how it can be done. The book falls into three parts: firstly, it deals with essential issues such as the place of computing in tertiary education and reveals past experience of teaching computing for the arts. Secondly, it considers the tools, techniques and technological aids now available for computers, such as database design and text processing; whilst the third section investigates real-life studies which place computers in a variety of disciplines. The text highlights areas of interest and study, such as art and design and archaeology, which have hitherto lacked attention.
