ASSOCIATION OF COMPUTING MACHINERY
SPECIAL INTEREST GROUP ON UNIVERSITY AND COLLEGE COMPUTING SERVICES
COMPUTER SERVICES MANAGEMENT SYMPOSIUM
ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI
MARCH 16-18, 1994

Every spring ACM SIGUCCS sponsors the Computer Services Management
Symposium in St. Louis, Missouri.  Computing/information technology
professionals representing the full range of higher education
institutions gather to address current issues challenging the needs
of service managers.  This year, the ACM SIGUCCS/CSMS
conference theme is "Making Connections".

The 1990's have been characterized by an explosion of electronic
resources, super highways, new technologies and new uses.  As
resources become more and more distributed, not only within our
institutions, but globally, we must develop new strategies for
managing these resources as well as our client base, workload and
priorities.  Our tasks include providing local computing resources as
well as global connectivity for our clients.  To do these things well
we must make connections in many ways -- physical network management,
sharing ideas with colleagues, and partnering with other information
professionals to leverage our resources.

The logo underscores the point that connections must be made not only
between hardware, for electronic resources, but between people.  The
conference will explore methods of initiating these connections and
ensuring that the resulting information transfer is efficient,
productive and meets the individual and collective needs of the global
community.

The symposium is organized into three focus tracks:
  Networking & Technology -- Connecting to the Campus and the World
Around Us
  Management -- Connecting with Style and Substance through Effective
Management
  Client/User Services -- Making Connections with the Campus Community
Attendees will have the opportunity to select sessions from any of the
three focus tracks throughout the symposium.  The plenary sessions
address the following issues:  technology and organizational culture,
new networking technology (ATM) and new definitions of computer
literacy.

Three pre-conference workshops are scheduled in the morning before the
symposium begins.  For an additional $30 fee you may choose between
ETHICS, INTERNET RESOURCES, and VISION.  Attendance is limited at
these workshops, so register early.
