Please join the Chemistry, Physics-Astronomy-Mathematics, and Sci-Tech divisions of SLA for a web conference entitled, "New Technologies in Instruction and Training," to be held online October 1 - 16, 2007, at the Chemistry Division's web conference site at http://forum.lib.lsu.edu/slachem. The conference will feature many of the posters originally presented at the SLA Annual Meeting, June 2007, in Denver. Each poster presentation will have its own discussion forum moderated by at least one of the authors/presenters.

The presentations and discussion forums for all posters will be open and available the entire duration of the conference, thereby allowing conference attendees ample time to see the posters and take part in any and all sessions of interest. The forums and links to the content for all presentations will be available to attendees and guests by 8:00 a.m. (CDT), October 1. The conference site will be open 24 hours a day, and, as discussions are asynchronous, you will be able to participate at times most convenient to you.

Full participation in the event will require registration, but this is free and painless. The site is currently open for registration. For those of you who have already registered for a previous conference, your ID and Password are still valid. If, however, you have forgotten what they are, just click on the login button on the conference home page without filling in anything, and you'll be provided a link which will enable you to have your username emailed to you and to reset your password. When you fill in your registered email address in the box provided, you will be sent instructions on how to reset your password.

If you do not choose to register, you may still view all content and discussions, but you will not be able to post. We do hope you will take advantage of the opportunity to discuss the various topics with the presenters, however.

If you have any questions at all about the conference, how to participate, or problems with registration, please email or call William Armstrong through the contact information provided below.
