6/21 Wireless Networking available at JCDL for FREE!

JCDL will have a wireless network covering the main conference area (not hotel rooms, those have 10baseT connectors). Any wireless network card that follows the 802.11b standard will work. You must bring your own card. The connection will not be encrypted, so as is the case with any non-encrypted wireless network, it will be exposed to snooping (although it is unlikely to happen).


Workshop 4 has been cancelled.

Reviewers Needed for Computing Reviews

Reviewers are urgently needed to write reviews of computing literature for Computing Reviews, the Association for Computing Machinery's review journal covering computing literature from around the world. ACM is expanding the scope of CR in preparation for launching an online version. At the same time, a number of long-time reviewers have retired, and there is a critical need for people who are qualified to review articles and books in the computing field. If you are interested in seeing your reviews in print (and online), please go to ACM's Web application form at http://www.acm.org/reviews. In addition, please tell any of your colleagues you think might be interested and direct them to this URL.
