Navigating the Internet with New Tools
Thursday, November 12
2:00 to 3:55 pm 

The topic for this session will be Navigating the Internet with New
Tools. ( I thought about saying without tears, but then who wants to
tempt the fates that much, not me. )

George Brett* will demonstrate some new tools for the Macintosh that
permit easier navigation of the Internet. Among the applications to be
demonstrated are the Internet Gopher (in at least 4 flavours), Fetch
(an FTP tool), XferIt (another FTP tool) and Hytelnet. Concepts to be
presented in the demonstration apply to software available for other
operating systems in addition to the Mac OS.

Agenda:

30 minutes live demonstration
30 minutes questions and answers on internet navigation tools
BREAK
Open discussion

----------------Please invite other folks to attend!--------------
We have opened up the  session to all who are interested. So far I
have heard about some school teachers, a library science class, and
faculty from other departments interested in attending. Invite
a public librarian or let a colleague in a community college know.

Bring questions and other challenges for Brett to share with the
audience (and watch how he asks other experts in the audience for the
real answers).

This should be an entertaining and enlightening session. After the
break we will open the virtual floor to other topics that relate to
libraries, networks, or other issues about technology and information
delivery.

*Harry Nicholos from NCSU was scheduled to present at this session but
extends his regrets. He is pre-occupied at this time with an impending
marriage ceremony the weekend before the conference -- his own!
Congratulations, Harry!!


Thanks for your continued support.
