Introduction:
Twice each year representatives of CNI's member
organizations gather for Task Force Meetings. The meetings
are designed to explore new technologies, content, and applications;
to further collaboration; to analyze technology policy issues;
and to catalyze the development and deployment of new projects.
Project Briefings are the heart of every Task Force
Meeting. These briefings address state-of-the-art developments
and issues of interest to the membership, as outlined in each
year's Program Plan. Interoperability
and standards, developing and managing networked information content, and innovations in teaching
and learning are topics that consistently engage CNI members'
interests.
-
Project Briefings are one-hour breakouts that allow participants to interact informally about projects, initiatives, and ideas of their own choosing.
-
The Briefings are usually attended by 25-75 people. Attendees include senior IT and library administrators, publishing executives, government officials, and others with a high level of interest in and understanding of networking information issues.
-
The Briefings are intended to provide information about a project's goals, progress, and lessons learned, but they may also involve demonstrations. Issue-oriented briefings include presentation of background information on a "hot topic" and more time for general discussion with the audience.
-
Each Briefing should include at least twenty minutes for general discussion.
CNI
will distribute one-page (two-sided) handouts for briefings
in the registration packets for the Task Force Meeting and
these materials will also be made available on our Web site.
Handouts are generally NOT PowerPoint presentations. You may provide your own handout (in Word or PDF format), or you
may supply the URL of a Web site for your project, from
which the CNI staff will create a one-page handout. The
deadline for submitting handouts or Web sites is March 10,
2006.

for past Task Force Meetings.
