                          ANNOUNCEMENT

The Reference Department,  Albin O. Kuhn Library, UMBC in cooperation with
Dr. Kevin Eckert, Professor, Department of Sociology and Anthropology,
UMBC are collecting and classifying syllabi and bibliographies on the
general topic:  advanced technology as a cultural process.  Material will be 
archived and made  available via the www, at:
	 http://umbc7.umbc.edu/~curnoles/cybersoc.html

At the 1996 annual meeting of the Society for Applied Anthropology (sfaa),
a topical interest group was created focusing on advanced technology as a
cultural process.  The interest group will promote the study of applied
aspects of the  relationship between advanced technology and social
change.  Advanced technology is conceived as including, but not limited to, 
computing.

The collection (both physically and electronically), classifying, and
dissemination of course syllabi and bibliographies via the www will assist
students,  faculty and others in developing studies as well as courses
addressing advanced technology as a social and cultural process.  We need your 
assistance in collecting  syllabi and bibliographies.
