Why do the leaves change color?

Librarians are concerned that the proposed UCITA (Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act) legislation poses a threat to free speech, fair use, preservation, and the license negotiation process. And if they have concern, then so should we all. 

The ALA (American Library Association) Office of Information Technology is providing UCITA training via an email tutorial which will run from November 6th through November 20th. The experience is almost painless...and if you sign up now you'll be pleasantly surprised when the lessons start arriving in your mailbox.

Send a message with the subject line blank to: Listproc@ala1.ala.org. In the body of the email, type: subscribe ucitatut Your First Name Your Last Name. 

(The easy way: SELECT the above paragraph and COPY it to the clipboard, then PASTE it into the body of a new email message. From there you can SELECT, COPY and PASTE the address onto the TO: line and edit the rest of the text in the body by putting in your name.)

Things are getting really weird -- and getting weird faster than the parking lot at a Grateful Dead concert. You may have taken a ride on the Cluetrain. Now it's time to get stuck on the Gluetrain!

Want to see something really weird? Take a look at the 1999 National Household Survey on Drug Abuse. Weird is a state of mind shared by more than 14 million of your fellow countryfolk, daily. Weird is what it's costing us to lock up those that get caught.

The Sun isn't "literary" or "political" or "spiritual" in the usual sense. It begins where those labels end, which is where life gets interesting. Excerpts of current articles are available online: satisfying, but teasers none the less.

Research involving human subjects in the Health and Biological Sciences poses complex ethical issues. A short course covering the requirements and regulations involving human research and the informed consent process is offered by the University of Minnesota. It's an extraordinary model of the online learning experience.

These are among the best deals on the Net. You trade a small annoyance (on screen advertising) for access to the Marvel of the Millenium. Limited but serviceable and invaluable as backup for your primary ISP, like commercial TV the price is right; a computer without Internet access is seriously under-utillized.
