JUGL '98:
The medium and the message
The national and international networking scene grows ever more complex. Technical developments
abound, with take-up often inhibited as much by organisational and budget limitations as lack of
technology. Does the medium affect the message? Does it matter?
How do we as members of the academic community ensure that our users are getting the most out of what
is provided? What lies behind the hype of the Internet as a global university? Where is the best practice in
UK higher education for exploiting the technology to its optimum?
Come to JUGL '98 and find out!
