CALL FOR PARTICIPATION (note deadline extension)

Proposals are invited for the Third Annual Museums and the Web Conference. The
 1998
conference in Toronto attracted over 450 attendees to hear 100 presenters from
20 countries. (Conference papers are still online at
 http://www.archimuse.com/mw98/.)

The deadline for proposals, papers, on-line activities, and workshops has been
extended from August 31, to September 30, 1998. (Note that Proposals received
 earlier
will be given preference.) All proposals are subject to peer review by the
 Museums
and the Web Program Committee; papers will be selected on the basis of the
 quality
of the abstract. Selected speakers will be notified by October 15. Full papers
 are
required by January 15, 1999. Papers will be published. All speakers must
 register
for the meeting, and are elibile for a 50% discount.

without an explicit thesis) will be accepted until December 31, 1998 and are not
subject to the peer review process.
