Additional Description

Abstract

On the recommendation of the Committee to Study the Role of Computers at the College and the Faculty Council, in 1983 Smith President Jill Ker Conway established an overall governance structure, consisting of four committees, for computing on campus. That stucture was revamped in 1988 and has subsequently been updated. These records include materials on the formation of the governance structure and its subsequent iterations, minutes of the Academic Computing committee, as well as files on security monitering of the Computing Center and student worker applications and lists.
