February 16, 1995: Vol26n17: Interdisciplinary Views of the Net

New sources of information on the Internet are always welcome even for
experienced Cybernauts. Beyond books and workshops-and the Internet
itself of course-other opportunities for advancing Internet expertise
do occasionally occur.
	One such event is "The Convergence of Science and the
Humanities: Internet Technologies and Scholarly Resources," a one-day
conference sponsored by SUNY's Conversations in the Disciplines
Program with support from UB's University Libraries and Computing and
Information Technology, Academic Services Division.
	The Internet's impact on scholarly research and communication
is the subject of this program, which brings together a group of
people involved in applying Internet technologies and resources to
studies in the humanities, social sciences, arts and letters, and the
sciences. Speakers include Postmodern Culture editor John Unsworth,
linguist Susan Herring, poet and critic Charles Bernstein, and
mathematician Neil Calkin.
	The conference, which will take place on Friday, March 24,
from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Buffalo Marriott, will also include
a Mosaic demonstration and presentations on Internet radio, art, and
music as well as an Electronic Poetry Center reading.
	To register for the conference contact:  the Office of
Conferences and Sponsored Events at 645-2018.  For more information on
the conference, contact Nancy Schiller, schiller@acsu.buffalo.edu
