** CAUSE becomes EDUCAUSE
----------------------
NISS has managed the UK mirror site for CAUSE for some time. Recent
changes in the organisation have resulted in the adoption of a new name,
EDUCAUSE, and this has also led to a change in the mirror site's URL.
A link to EDUCAUSE can be found via the About NISS page at
http://www.niss.ac.uk/niss/other_site.html
Alternatively, the new direct URL for the mirror EDUCAUSE site is at
http://www.educause.niss.ac.uk/
EDUCAUSE has its headquarters in the USA, and was formed in July following
the convergence of two organisations, CAUSE and Educom. The mission of
EDUCAUSE is to enable the transformational changes occuring in higher
education through the introduction, use, access to, and management of
information resources and technologies in teaching, learning, scholarship,
research, and institutional management. EDUCAUSE will build on the legacies
of Educom and CAUSE, and will focus on the management and use of
computational, network, and information resources in support of higher
education's missions of scholarship, instruction, service, and
administration.
EDUCAUSE is already involved with a number of programmes and services,
and details of its various projects, education events, information services,
awards programmes, and collaborative work with other organisations can be
found on the website.
The old address for NISS's CAUSE mirror site (cause-www.niss.ac.uk) is still
operational at present but will be removed from service in the near future,
so we'd also like to advise you to change your bookmarks to the new EDUCAUSE
address, http://www.educause.niss.ac.uk at the earliest opportunity. Thanks.
