Tom Haskins offers a good reason why conferences remain important even in a world of ever readier access to ever increasing information. Haskins suggests that we need experts now more than ever, not for access to information, but for evaluation and filtering. The point is one that librarians, too, are fond of making, and it ought to cheer any scholar, though it may feel to some that the rules are changing in the middle of the game.

The University Web Developers' Mailing List aims to provide a discussion forum for people responsible for designing, implementing, and maintaining a higher education web site. The list sponsors talk about technical web development and site design, administrative policies at various institutions, training and conference information, useful support tools, etc.
