Multimedia Centres:
The Multimedia Centres for Learning in the Humanities
consist of two language instruction labs and two Research
and Development facilities. Access to the labs and to
the R & D facilities, and all issues of academic
usage of them, are exclusively within the prerogatives
of the Director, Paul Ruppert, who is appointed by the
Associate Dean for the Humanities. Damion Renner, LANG
member and Multimedia Specialist for the Multimedia
Centres, provides support and training on lab software,
equipment, and web development for staff and faculty,
and handles lab scheduling requests, access cards, and
announcements.

CHASS:
CHASS is a computing facility within the Faculty of Arts
& Science of the University of Toronto. It was created
on May 1, 1996 by merging two computing centres: the EPAS
Computing Facility and the Centre for Computing in the
Humanities, which – for the previous decade –
had been separately serving Social Sciences and Humanities
disciplines at the university. The Facility's broad mandate
is to promote computing in research and teaching within
the Humanities and Social Sciences departments.
CHASS also provides support
to a number of institutes, centres, and other units
within the University of Toronto, which – though
not falling directly under CHASS’ mandate –
entered into separate agreements with the Facility.
These agreements vary in scope and duration and are
tailored to meet specific needs of our users.
On the national and international
scenes, CHASS maintains and operates the highly successful
CHASS Data Centre, a collection of Social Sciences
and general interest databases (e.g., Canadian Census,
CANSIM, IMF, World Bank Tables, etc.). Thanks to our
agreements with Statistics Canada and other institutions,
the CHASS Data Centre is used by over 25 subscribing
universities from Canada and the United States.
CHASS’ staff participates
in a number of projects aimed at promoting instructional
and research computing, and monitors developments
in these areas around the world. (http://www.chass.utoronto.ca/)
