Christmas gift idea – history of IT book

Published: 10 December 2008

Looking for a Christmas gift? Consider the following book:
'From Ferranti to Faculty'
Information Technology at Monash University, 1960 to 1990

From Ferranti to Faculty tells the story of the foundation of the first faculty dedicated to computing and information technology in Australia. Covering the period from the late 1950s until 1990, when the Faculty of Computing and Information Technology at Monash University was formed, it spans the establishment phase of the discipline of computing. During this time, this field of study was developing and changing at a rapid rate, arguably faster than any new discipline in the past. This created enormous challenges and difficulties, as well as wonderful opportunities.

The text is authored by historian Sarah Rood, a Monash Alumna.
