Internet Institute Series Returns at U-M

The School of Information at the University of Michigan is offering three
continuing education workshops in its Internet Institute Series this
summer. The workshops are open to all students and information
professionals who are interested in enhancing their skills. All institutes
will be taught by faculty and graduate-level students of the University of
Michigan and guest speakers. 

The workshops are:

- "Art in the Streets: Capturing Live Events on the Web." The workshop,
from July 24-26, will use the Ann Arbor summer art fairs as its backdrop to
teach participants how to capture images and sounds from the fairs and
place them on the World Wide Web.  Registration is $250.

- "Building Partnerships: Collaborative Technologies for Libraries." This
workshop, cosponsored by the University Library, will run August 1-2. This
institute combines theory and practice to provide the rationale,
foundation, and vision for collaborative programs among libraries. It
includes a panel discussion at and a tour of the new U-M Media Union. The
institute emphasizes emerging electronic networked technologies that
enable and facilitate this collaboration. Registration is $150. 

- "Virtual Reference Desk and Collection Development at the Internet
Public Library." The workshop, from August 14-16, is a specialized,
three-day program for librarians and information professionals of all
kinds. Those who are interested in using Internet-based information
resources to better serve their users or integrating these resources more
easily into their current environment will benefit from this institute. 
Participants will receive instruction and guidance from staff members of
the Internet Public Library, will have substantial time for hands-on
exploration and development, and the opportunity to create collaborative
relationships with others grappling with similar issues.  Registration is
$250.
