News Items for _Journal of Internet Cataloging_

         News Items for _Journal of Internet Cataloging_

     Recently, I was appointed the news column contributing editor
for the _Journal of Internet Cataloging: The International
Quarterly of Digital Organization, Classification, and Access_, a
new Haworth journal co-edited by Ruth Carter, the University of
Pittsburgh and Roger Brisson of Penn State University. The _Journal
of Internet Cataloging_ (JIC) focuses on the organization, access,
and bibliographic control of Internet resources. JIC views the
cataloging and classification of Net/Web resources broadly,
recognizing that the digital environment provides both
opportunities for the use of traditional and conventional methods,
and the development and application of novel approaches for digital
management.

   The URL for JIC is:

     For a forthcoming issue of the _Journal of Internet
Cataloging_ (JIC), I am interested in profiling significant
activities within the library community related to digital
organization, classification and access. Among the categories of
news items of particular interest are:

          * Abstracts or brief reports of on-going or
               unpublished research

          * Recent or future Web, Net or Digital meetings,
               conferences, symposia ; Call for Papers

          * Analysis or description of emerging technologies

     I would also appreciate any other items that individuals
consider newsworthy for inclusion in this professional journal.

     As always, any and all suggestions, recommendations, or
candidates will be very much appreciated.

     While news items are welcome any time, I'd very much appreciate
receiving items for inclusion in the next issue of JIC by

                       November 13
