[Sig-l] STI Proposed Programs for ASIST 2004

[Ann Eagan]

The following are the program ideas STI proposed for ASIST 2004.  These are 
in somewhat raw form as some discussion did take place at the All SIG 
planning meeting so a few of the co-sponsors are more firm than 
indicated.  I would certainly appreciate hearing from other SIGs as to 
their interest in co-sponsoring any programs or any ideas for speakers or 
formats.

Thanks,

Ann Eagan, Chair, STI
