May 19-21, 1999: Baltimore
<http://cimic.rutgers.edu/~adl/>

Digital Libraries are a critical component of the emerging ``distributed
knowledge environments'' that will provide people with universal access to
virtually all areas of human knowledge, with the concomitant hope of
improving standards of health, education , and economic well-being as well
as the quality of life. As such, the field of digital library research and
technology encompasses information creation, acquisition, access,
distribution, evaluation and processing. Major applications of digital
library research and technology include education, science, commerce,
medicine, and the arts.

The goal of this conference is to share and disseminate information about
important current issues concerning digital library research and
technology. This goal will be achieved by means of research papers, invited
talks, workshops, and panels involving leading experts, as well as through
demonstrations of innovative and prototype technologies. The conference has
the additional goal of indicating the importance of applications of digital
library technologies in the public and private sectors of the economy.

THE EIGHTH ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL EFF PIONEER AWARDS:
CALL FOR NOMINATIONS

-------------------------------------
Please redistribute this notice in appropriate fora
-------------------------------------

In every field of human endeavor, there are those dedicated to
expanding knowledge, freedom, efficiency, and utility. Along the
electronic frontier, this is especially true. To recognize this, the
Electronic Frontier Foundation established the Pioneer Awards for
deserving individuals and organizations.

The Pioneer Awards are international and nominations are open to all.
The deadline for nominations this year is March 10, 1999. Nominations
must be sent to pioneer@eff.org.

In March of 1992, the first EFF Pioneer Awards were given in
Washington D.C. The winners were: Douglas C. Engelbart, Robert Kahn,
Jim Warren, Tom Jennings, and Andrzej Smereczynski. The 1993 Pioneer
Award recipients were Paul Baran, Vinton Cerf, Ward Christensen, Dave
Hughes and the USENET software developers, represented by the
software's originators Tom Truscott and Jim Ellis. The 1994 Pioneer
Award winners were Ivan Sutherland, Whitfield Diffie and Martin
Hellman, Murray Turoff and Starr Roxanne Hiltz, Lee Felsenstein, Bill
Atkinson, and the WELL. The 1995 Pioneer Award winners were Philip
Zimmermann, Anita Borg, and Willis Ware. The 1996 Pioneer Award
winners were Robert Metcalfe, Peter Neumann, Shabbir Safdar and
Matthew Blaze. The 1997 winners were Marc Rotenberg, Johan "Julf"
Helsingius, and (special honorees) Hedy Lamarr and George Antheil.
The 1998 winners were Richard Stallman, Linus Torvalds, and Barbara
Simons.

The 8th Annual Pioneer Awards will be given in Washington, D.C., at
the 9th Conference on Computers, Freedom, and Privacy in April of
1999.

All nominations will be reviewed by a panel of judges chosen for their
knowledge of computer-based communications and the technical, legal,
and social issues involved in computer technology and computer
communications.

This year's judges are Mike Godwin, Bruce Koball, Hal Abelson, Lorrie
Cranor, Phil Agre, and Simona Nass.

There are no specific categories for the Pioneer Awards, but the
following guidelines apply:

1. The nominees must have made a substantial contribution to the
health, growth, accessibility, or freedom of computer-based
communications.

2. The contribution may be technical, social, economic, or cultural.

3. Nominations may be of individuals, systems, or organizations in
the private or public sectors.

4. Nominations are open to all, and you may nominate more than one
recipient. You may nominate yourself or your organization.

5. All nominations, to be valid, must contain your reasons, however
brief, for nominating the individual or organization, along with a
means of contacting the nominee, and your own contact number.
Anonymous nominations will be allowed, but we prefer to be able to
contact the nominating parties in the event that we need more
information.

6. Every person or organization, with the single exception of EFF
staff members, are eligible for Pioneer Awards.

7. Persons or representatives of organizations receiving a Pioneer
Award will be invited to attend the ceremony at the Foundation's
expense.

You may nominate as many as you wish, but please use one form per
nomination. You may return the forms to us via email to:
pioneer@eff.org

Just tell us the name of the nominee, the phone number or email
address at which the nominee can be reached, and, most important, why
you feel the nominee deserves the award. You may attach supporting
documentation in Microsoft Word or other standard binary formats.
Please include your own name, address, phone number, and e-mail
address.

We're looking for the Pioneers of the Electronic Frontier that have
made and are making a difference.

Thanks for helping us find them,
The Electronic Frontier Foundation

NINCH ANNOUNCEMENT
February 24, 1999

**EXTRA! THE LATEST NEWS FROM THE ACLS**

Here is a preview of the latest news on the Website of the
American Council of Learned Societies: http://www.acls.org.

NEW RELEASES IN OCCASIONAL PAPER SERIES

We are pleased to announce the latest releases in the ACLS Occasional Paper
series:

-- "Wave of the Present: The Scholarly Journal on the Edge of the Internet" by
Christopher L. Tomlins (ACLS Occasional Paper No. 43).
Tomlins, Editor of "Law and History Review,: assesses the future of the
scholarly journal and its role in professional discourse in light of the move
toward electronic retrieval and distribution of information.

-- "The Humanist on Campus: Continuity and Change" by Denis Donoghue,
Lynn Hunt, Lucius Outlaw, Judith Shapiro, and Robert Weisbuch (ACLS Occasional
Paper No. 44).
As part of the public session of the 1998 ACLS Annual Meeting, panel members-
all recipients of ACLS Fellowships at some point in their
careers-considered the
place of the Humanist on campus and explored aspects of continuity and change.

CONFERENCE OF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICERS IN DENVER

The Conference of Administrative Officers (CAO) of the ACLS held its
semi-annual
meeting in Denver and Boulder, Colorado on November 12-14, 1998. Program
sessions at the meeting included discussion of the constituent societies
involvement in K-12 education and the establishment of an education website
within the ACLS website; next steps for CAO programming regarding the impact of
information technology on society management; and a presentation by University
of Colorado, Boulder faculty on Native American Studies.

John H. D'Arms, President of the American Council of Learned Societies,
described to the members of the CAO his development and program efforts for the
past year and his plans for the upcoming year. He stressed an initiative
concerning recently tenured scholars in the Humanities, one aspect of which
will
be a series of conversations modeled on the program planning conversations
which
took place at the ACLS during John D'Arms' first year as president. He
distributed a draft of questions conversation participants would be asked to
address and asked for CAO comments on those questions and on the initiative in
general. Mr. D'Arms also reported on other projects under development
including
a pilot electronic publishing effort and the ongoing Fellowship endowment
campaign. In connection with the latter, he noted that ACLS has for the first
time compiled a comprehensive list of former fellows and is seeking their help
in this campaign.

The session at the University of Colorado, Boulder was hosted by the Center for
Humanities and the Arts and included welcoming remarks by Jeffrey Cox, Director
of the Center; Peter D. Spear, Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences; and
ACLS President D'Arms. The panelists for the Native American Studies session
were Patricia N. Limerick (History) who served as Chair; Philip Deloria
(History); Vine Deloria (History and Law); Jule Gomez de Garcia (Linguistics);
Linda Hogan (English and Creative Writing;) and Richard B. Williams, the Lakota
Nation. [See photographs of session participants.] The presentations were
followed by discussion. The audience also included fellows of the ACLS and
members of the constituent societies from Boulder and the surrounding area.

As part of the CAO Business Meeting, Patti McGill Peterson, Executive Director
of the Council for International Exchange of Scholars, reported to the group on
the current state of affairs at CIES. John Hammer, Director of the National
Humanities Alliance, also provided the group with an update on the state of the
Humanities in the Congress. As part of Maureen Grolnick's update on K-12
activities, Deane Root, ACLS Delegate from the Sonneck Society for American
Music and Director of the Center for American Music at the University of
Pittsburgh, presented a sample lesson from a Sonneck Society pilot program to
teach eighth graders American History through music.

The meeting, which was hosted by the Denver Metro Convention and Visitors
Bureau
and the Adam's Mark Hotel Denver, also included visits to cultural and
historical sites in the Denver area.

>Issue: EdTech
>A new report by the CEO Forum on Education and Technology echoes the

>of executives who advocate the use of technology in education, found that
>insufficient tech training is not only a problem for veteran teachers.
>According to the report, many teacher colleges fall short in preparing the
>next generation of educators for the classrooms of the 21st century. Up to
>one third of teacher education programs suffer from inadequate or out-of-date
>technological resources to effectively train new teachers in using
>computers in the classroom. The CEO Forum, which was set up to issue four
