Several CASLLers were among the pioneers who helped build the presentation text collection during the pilot CCCC Online in 1994 (Jim Reither, Marcy Bauman, Ann Beers come to mind--hope I didn't forget anyone!). I hope CCCC/96 Online will also benefit from participation from folks in this group! --Eric =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= CCCC/96 Online | http://www.missouri.edu/~cccc96 | ANNOUNCEMENT & INVITATION | *________________________________* The Conference on College Composition and Communication announces The Online Resources for the 1996 Convention March 27-30 Milwaukee, WI The web pages for CCCC/96 Online at http://www.missouri.edu/~cccc96/ include: --Convention Information (most of the Convention Preview publication is available, including registration and hotel reservation forms) --Presentation texts (a few early submissions are available now, but the collection will grow quickly--we hope--as the convention nears) --Other CCCC information (currently, the flyer for the 1996 Winter Workshop, but information about the 1997 workshop is coming soon as is the call for proposals for the 1997 convention) --Online Events & Resources (includes information and links to relevant lists & web publications plus dates and times of online meetings pertinent to CCCC members' concerns CCCC/96 Online coordinators appreciate any comments and suggestions about the content and design of the site. If there's something missing that you'd like to see, please tell us! If you have ideas for how better to present the information, please say!

Ideally, the more complete the text, the better, so we hope folks will send complete papers (even if in draft state at this point). But we're happy to get anything: abstracts, outlines, cocktail napkins with notes on them, whatever. We've tried to make it as easy as possible to submit texts. We'll accept them via email, ftp, snailmail (on floppy disk or even in <gasp> print. If anyone is putting their own text on the web, we'd be glad to simply create a link to your version (you can add the CCCC logo if you like, too!) And we have web forms available to facilitate the submission process. See http://www.missouri.edu/~cccc96/texts_index.html We encourage everyone to submit something as soon as possible. Even incomplete drafts can be updated at any time. Send texts (or questions) to [log in to unmask] It's OK to send attached files in word processor format, but ascii text is usually easier for us to work with. If you want to use FTP, login as 'anonymous' to ftp.missouri.edu upload your file to the /contrib directory, then send email to the above address to let us know it's there (files in /contrib expire in a day or two). To send disks or paper via snailmail, direct to Eric Crump Learning Center 231 Arts & Science University of Missouri Columbia MO 65211 We are very proud of CCCC95 Online and the level of participation in the first full year of this project. We hope to improve upon the 1995 edition in every way, quality and quantity. Thanks for your help in making that happen! --Eric Crump CCCC/96 Online Coordinator --Bryan Roesslet CCCC/96 Online Webster ------------------------ CCCC Online is supported by the Conference on College Composition and Communication and by the University of Missouri and is coordinated by the CCCC Computers in Composition and Communication committee. ------------------------
