- Navigating the Internet with New Tools
- Thursday, November 12
- 2:00 to 3:55 pm
-
- The topic for this session will be Navigating the Internet with New
- Tools. ( I thought about saying without tears, but then who wants to
- tempt the fates that much, not me. )
-
- George Brett* will demonstrate some new tools for the Macintosh that
- permit easier navigation of the Internet. Among the applications to be
- demonstrated are the Internet Gopher (in at least 4 flavours), Fetch
- (an FTP tool), XferIt (another FTP tool) and Hytelnet. Concepts to be
- presented in the demonstration apply to software available for other
- operating systems in addition to the Mac OS.
-
- Agenda:
-
- 30 minutes live demonstration
- 30 minutes questions and answers on internet navigation tools
- BREAK
- Open discussion
-
- ----------------Please invite other folks to attend!--------------
- We have opened up the session to all who are interested. So far I
- have heard about some school teachers, a library science class, and
- faculty from other departments interested in attending. Invite
- a public librarian or let a colleague in a community college know.
-
- Bring questions and other challenges for Brett to share with the
- audience (and watch how he asks other experts in the audience for the
- real answers).
-
- This should be an entertaining and enlightening session. After the
- break we will open the virtual floor to other topics that relate to
- libraries, networks, or other issues about technology and information
- delivery.
-
- *Harry Nicholos from NCSU was scheduled to present at this session but
- extends his regrets. He is pre-occupied at this time with an impending
- marriage ceremony the weekend before the conference -- his own!
- Congratulations, Harry!!
-
-
- Thanks for your continued support.
