"WHAT EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY"
An important new project of the Computer Science and Telecommunications
Board (CSTB) of the National Research Council is to define the basic terms
of "information technology literacy."
The first workshop of the committee working on this project will be held
January 14-15, 1998 in Irvine, California. In preparation for that
meeting, the committee is issuing a call to participate by answering
relevant sets of questions, designed for different communities.
The questions are for the following groups:
1. Computer and Communications Scientists and Engineers
2. Employers and Labor Professionals
3. K-12 and Post-Secondary Educators
4. Librarians
5. Commercial and Business Information Technologists (e.g., MIS support,
Chief Information Officers)
If you are interested in participating, go to the project website for the
sets of questions and for more detailed information on the project:
