"New Web site: CACPS"
08/11/2003 Entry

Check out the nice, user-friendly, content-rich new Web site of the Center for Arts and Cultural Policy Studies of the Woodrow Wilson School at Princeton. The Center has hosted me all year as a research affiliate and I've been a post-doctoral fellow there this summer. The Center hosts and sponsors lots of arts and culture related research.

All of the papers in its Working Paper Series are now available online for download including a paper I wrote with my advisor, Paul DiMaggio a couple of years ago on "From the 'Digital Divide' to `Digital Inequality': Studying Internet Use As Penetration Increases". We are working on a new updated and expanded vresion this summer so stay tuned.

The CACPS Web site also features links to the syllabi of some interesting courses such as Steven Tepper's "Creativity, Innovation, and Society" and Paul DiMaggio & David Dobkin's "Sex, Money and Rock and Roll: Information Technology and Society".

And then there is CPANDA, the Cultural Policy and the Arts National Data Archive with lots of data available for your perusal.

The small print

A few words on what I will and will not post on this blog (taken from my E-LIST entry of January 2, 2002). I have nothing against posting commercial sites as long as they come highly recommended. In fact, I'm quite interested in improving informed consumer choice so I'm very curious to hear about good experiences with online retailers. What I will refrain from posting are sites that require plug-ins or programs that are painful to deal with. Example: I will not post anything that only works with RealOne/RealPlayer as that program is intrusive and annoying beyond belief and I am not willing to reinstall it on my machine (it was hard enough to get rid of it completely in the first place) nor do I want to encourage others to have it. If your site has audio content, please make it available in multiple formats or choose one that can be run on multiple players (e.g. .avi).
