****Announcing the 3rd nls-forum guest speaker **** 

The NetLinkS project is pleased to announce the third event in a
programme of discussions led by "guest speakers".  Due to popular
demand, these discussions have become a regular feature of our
discussion list - nls-forum - and we would like to invite you to take
part. 

We are delighted to give you advance notice of the third in our
series.  Di Booker, Manager of the Open Learning Information and
Materials Clearing House, Adelaide Institute of TAFE, has very
generously offered to lead a discussion for a period of 3 weeks from
this Wednesday (19th March) on the topic of "The educational debate -
a new paradigm for library and information services in the online
learning environment".  We hope that you will join the debate, and
take this opportunity to share your experiences as emerging partners
in the educational climate of your institutions. We hope you'll make
the 19th a date for your virtual diaries :-)

Those of you who didn't participate in our previous "conferences",
will find them archived on the NetLinkS Web site:

Council of England, as part of its Electronic Libraries programme.

Best wishes
