The Merit Networking Seminars:
Making Your NSFNET Connection Count
------------------------------------------------------------
Merit/NSFNET Information Services will sponsor a one-and-
a-half day seminar at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, in Las Vegas,
Nevada on June1-2, 1992, and hosted by NevadaNet. "Making Your NSFNET
Connection Count" will be an informative seminar focusing on Internet
tools, resources, and applications. Campus computing leaders, information
systems and networking administrators, educational liaisons, librarians,
and educators who want to learn more about national networking are
encouraged to attend.
Day 1 will begin with a keynote presentation by Donna Cox of the National
Center for Supercomputer Applications, and will feature speakers from
around the country discussing network applications in education from the
elementary grades through the college level. Presentations will provide
extensive information about resources accessible via the Internet, and the
tools now available to locate and effectively using those resources.
Speakers include Tom Grundner of the National Public Telecomputing Network,
Art St. George of University of New Mexico, and George Brett of MCNC.
Day 2 will include a presentation on the state of electronic publishing, as
well as parallel sessions for special interests in TCP/IP internetworking,
gigabit technology, and K-12 connectivity and applications issues. The
seminar will conclude with a presentation on the status of the National
Research and Education Network (NREN).
The seminar will be held on the University of Nevada campus, with lodging
available at a nearby non-gaming hotel. A block of rooms will be held for
seminar attendees until May 1. Shuttle service will be provided between the
hotel and the seminar location.
A demonstration room will be provided with microcomputers connected through
NevadaNet to NSFNET and the Internet. Time will be allocated during the
seminar for speakers to demonstrate their applications online and for
attendees to access network resources discussed in the presentations. Merit
staff will be on hand to assist attendees in the demonstration room.
The registration fee is $295 until May 15. After May 15 the fee is $345.
This fee includes the seminar, receptions on Sunday and Monday evenings,
lunch on Monday and Tuesday, the demonstration room, and all seminar
