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:
http://www.libraries.psu.edu/iasweb/personal/rob/jic/jic.htm
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* Abstracts or brief reports of on-going or unpublished research* Recent or future Web, Net or Digital meetings, conferences, symposia ; Call for Papers* Analysis or description of emerging technologies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 Regards,
Gerry McKiernan Coordinator, Science and Technology Section Reference and Instructional Services Department Iowa State University Ames IA 50011

EXPRESSION OF INTEREST
It has only been a short three years since the appearance of the first museum web sites. Today there are hundreds of museums with a presence on the World Wide Web. The nature and purpose of these sites varies greatly and we believe that museums have much to learn from each other and from developers who have been using the Web for other applications.
To provide an opportunity for learning, Archives & Museum Informatics will host an INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE DEVOTED EXCLUSIVELY TO MUSEUMS AND THE WEB, to be held March 16-19, 1997 at the Omni Los Angeles Hotel & Centre, Los Angeles, California.
If you would like to be kept informed of the program as it develops, or learn more about opportunities to exhibit or speak, please complete the form below and fax or email it to us.
