(They won't be able to see the pretty pictures if they do this, but that is sort of part of my presentation.)

2/23 Thursday, 6:00 p.m. CST in TTU MOO http://moo.engl.ttu.edu:7000/
GRN Event: "Research Methods in Computers and Writing"
Becky Rickly and Angela Eaton, both of Texas Tech University, discuss the promises and perils of conducting research in the academy and the workplace.

Two Special Notes:
The Graduate Research Network has a special forum within the Computersandwriting.org site for graduate students to post summaries of their research and receive feedback from experienced scholars and researchers. Longman has donated $100 and two books to go to graduate students who post to this forum.

Also, the Poster Session Presentations from the Symposium are still viewable. You can login to TTU English MOO and leave a comment for the authors or view them independent of the MOO via this website: http://moo.engl.ttu.edu:7000/1619/
