The Neal-Schuman WebMaster is designed to help you bypass the common

sing
issues developing around Internet access in public and school libraries, =

well as a resources section describing and connecting you to all of the
Web-based sites referred to in the kit.

The demo sessions will be presented by the WebMaster=92s developers, Lisa

Bloomington, Indiana and creator of The Internet Advocate, a Web-based
resource guide for librarians and educators, and Howard Rosenbaum, a

information networking and electronic commerce.  These veteran Internet
trainers will be happy to answer questions you=20
