On My End
Matt Alberts weekly@webcom.com
I have returned after a few weeks of. I enjoyed my vacation,
and I would like to thank those that wished me a good one.
Things are winding down for a good summer of work with the
HelpWeb, the Weekly Bookmark, and WBAds. Some of my plans
include a FAQ and improved navigation through the web pages.
Coming up in the next few weeks will be a coupole of articles
from our staff. Marian Hank is diligently working on an article
and should have it completed for you in the next week or so. I
am still researching a few topics for my article. Look for
these in the next month or so.
The Weekly Bookmark should be showing up on time in your
mailboxes from now on. pobox.com's mail server was running low
on memory causing a large backup processing some of the
postings. Those problems have been solved and everything should
be back to normal.
Enjoy this issue of the Weekly Bookmark.

CONSER (Cooperative Online Serials) Program
Along with the creation of these home pages, _CONSERline_
issues for 1996 are now available in HTML format via the
World-Wide Web. Issues for 1994-1995 can be accessed via
the _CONSERline_ home page which links to back issues on
the gopher server, LC MARVEL. We will continue to publish
_CONSERline_ in ASCII format and distribute issues via
email through listserv software, in addition to making
the HTML version available on LCWeb.
On the CONSER Program home page you'll also find general
information about the program, the current _Annual
Report_, and documents on serials cataloging issues in
HTML format. Updated guidelines for cataloging remote
access serials (e.g., electronic journals) are available
via the home page. New CONSER record requirements,
including the seven new core records for special format
serials, are included as well.
The program home page includes links to catalogs
available on the Internet, serials collections online,
and other Internet cataloging services. The final section
lists email addresses for asking questions or identifying
problems relating to serials cataloging or CONSER
records. The "mailto" link is included here to
automatically generate email messages provided your Web
browser can accommodate.
Additional information and links are planned as well,
including a section on CONSER Task Forces with
information about all active efforts. More links to
catalogs available on the Internet are also planned as we
are able to support a more focused approach with more
direct links to individual catalogs.

We have quite an eclectic list of speakers so far, which
includes Esther Dyson, Shikhar Gosh, Eric Schmidt, Klaus
Besier, David Gobel, John Patrick, Howard Anderson, G.M.
O'Connell, Marleen McDaniel, Ted Leonsis, Stewart Alsop,
Nat Borenstein, Daniel Lynch, Mark Stahlman, Pavel Curtis
and many many more. You can check for the latest list at
www.interact96.com.
We are also having a virtual trade show where exhibitors
are displaying their goods and services in vrml worlds
and where attendees can interact though Avatars.
