ANNOUNCE: See A Librarian

(Please accept apologies for the multiple postings. Because of people's 
hardware limitations, wide distribution is necessary for possible success.)

See You See a Librarian is a time limited project whose purpose is to 
experiment with the CU-SeeMe technology for real-time information exchange in 
the realm of library and information science. You are invited to read more 
about this informal project from the following URL:

  http://sunsite.berkeley.edu/~emorgan/see-a-librarian/
  
The project is divided into three distinct stages described below. 

     Stage One - "Feasibility" (July 7 to July 31)
          The purpose of this stage is to learn how many librarians
          have the necessary hardware, software, and willingness to
          explore the use of the CU-SeeMe technology.
          
     Stage Two - "Librarians on Librarianship" (August 1 to August 31)
          The purpose of Stage Two is to limit the scope of discussion
          to library issues. It is intended to be a forum for the real
          time discussion of library issues like reference services,
          cataloging resources, collection management, or acquisitions.

     Stage Three - "Librarians Fostering Knowledge" (September 1 to
     September 30)
          The purpose of Stage Three is to open the discussion up to
          information seekers needing assistance. During this stage,
          people outside the library community will be encouraged to
          participate. It will be at this time when reference
          questions could be fielded, information organization
          issues could be addressed, or advice could be given on
          locating particular pieces of information.

As always, feedback is encouraged.
