You may want to subscribe to our corpora mailing list (just ask Benjamin Van Durme to add you to the list). This list distributess information about our corpus environment. You can also use it ask/answer questions about the local corpus environment. There are several groups that use corpora. At the very least you will find useful tools and corpora in /p/hlp/ and /p/nl/ (the natural language processing group in CS). There is also a [http://www.cs.rochester.edu/research/speech/ldc.html corpus inventory] and [http://www.cs.rochester.edu/research/cisd/resources/acquisitions.rss RSS feed]. You can use a web browser or email client with built-in RSS capabilities (e.g. Mozilla Firefox, Mozilla Thunderbird), a web-based aggregator (e.g. on My Yahoo!, Google), or a standalone aggregator. We have added further corpora on /p/hlp/corpora/ and more is to come. An updated page reflecting our corpus and software inventory is in the works.
