Jackson Library is pleased to host a one-day conference for the northern division of Academic Business Librarians' Exchange (ABLE) on May 25, 2001. Nationally recognized speakers will address fundamental challenges facing librarians in the 21st century as data storage media change and potential information resources multiply rapidly on the Web. Representatives from both the academic and corporate environments will speak on current trends, practices, and considerations in managing digital information as we move into the future.

Colleagues,

In particular writers who already work or wish to work in digital forms: I'm going to co-teach an electronic creative writing workshop (hypertext/hypermedia and other forms of digital fiction and poetry) this spring for Continuing Studies and welcome your interest.
