| Sumario: | This article reports that conference panels at ACH/ALLC in past years have addressed the institutional location of humanities computing units, the varying strategies for creating, funding, and housing such units, and the opportunities and goals that bring them into being. Perhaps it is time now for a similar discussion of the changes such units undergo: how they shift emphasis, create new alliances and seek new audiences within the institution in an effort to remain viable. In the past year, at least three major humanities computing centers have seen significant changes in their structure. The work of Oxford's Humanities Computing Unit has been integrated into the larger organizational structure of Oxford University Computing Services. Brown's Scholarly Technology Group is in the process of being radically restructured or, most likely, closed entirely.
