* C S A C * SPRING SCHOOL: COMPUTING FOR ANTHROPOLOGISTS
March 28 - April 4, 1989
BICA Issue No. 7: January 1989
Graduate students often have very specific needs, and are not much interested in future developments (those maturing after their submission dates, for instance). You will find thaht the booking form has a space for you to say what your special interests are; and you can also phone us (see the booking form for the numbers). We will then try to tailor the proposed programme to provide substitute or alternative sessions, to give the specific useful instruction.
Each session lasts 90 minutes; the terminal room is open 24 hours each day; friendly assistance is available during the day-time.
