What Scholars Need to Know to Publish Today:
Digital Writing and Access for Readers

    "What Scholars Need to Know to Publish Today: Digital Writing and
Access for Readers" is a symposium planned for April 8, 2002 at the
University at Albany to provide discussion regarding important current
issues and initiatives in academic publishing and archiving.

   The advent of networked systems for scholarly communication provides
unprecedented access to scholarly works. Digital information is
fundamentally different from print in how it can be used, distributed,
and analyzed. Faculty and students who publish the results of their
research want to ensure the widest possible access to vital, original
scholarship.  Knowing the essential features that will provide the most
effective retrieval for electronic documents is an increasingly
important set of skills for research and publication.

  "What Scholars Need to Know to Publish Today: Digital Writing and
Access for Readers" a day-long symposium, will take place April 8, 2002
at the University at Albany's Campus Center Assembly Hall, beginning at
9:45 am and finishing at 4:00pm.

The speakers, Syd Bauman, Pragrammer/Analyst, Brown University Women
Writers Project, who serves as the North American Editor of the Text
Encoding Initiative Guidelines; Carl Lagoze, Digital Library Scientist,
Open Archives Initiative Executive Committee; Ed Fox, Professor of
Computer Scienc, founder and director of the National Digital Library of
Theses and Dissertations, are experts in areas of electronic
communications and will raise and discuss critical issues pertaining to
the structure of electronic publications, current initiatives in
scholarly communication systems and archives.

  Registration for the symposium will be free for faculty, staff, and
students of the University at Albany, and will be $50.00 for the general
public. The symposium will be held in the University at Albany Campus
Center Assembly Hall, and a buffet lunch will be served for
