From: gls@unb.ca (Greg Sprague)

 Here at UNB we have tried something slighly different and it has worked
very well and has become one of our most popular offerings. We call it
"Tuesday at 3:00" and every Tuesday we (Computing Services) provide
coffee/juice/donuts and a speaker. The refreshments are available at 2:45,
the speaker talks from 3:00 to 3:15, people can then get up and leave or
stay as long as they like for discussion. We do this every Tuesday, no
exceptions. The talks are usually informal. Heckling is allowed. Sometimes
it is just one of our staff members descibing a new project. It is also
a good forum for staff members to report on conferences they have attended.
Everyone on campus is welcome.

 Recent Tuesday at 3:00 topics include:
    - bibliographic database packages
    - Macintosh internet mailers
    - Quality management
    - A new library acquisitions system
    - Why voice mail?
    - scheduling meetings with WP Office
    - IP tunneling
    - Why I like UNIX
    - EDUCOM '92
