Last month Damon Querry posting details of a meeting to be held next
Thursday about the HE Mall. Are any members of the website-info-mgt list
going to the meeting? I thought it might be useful to meet and maybe go for
a drink after the meeting.

Subject: HE Shopping Mall: Meeting Announcement
> A meeting will be held from 11am until 1pm on the 17th of June at the
CVCP,
> 20 Tavistock Square, London to discuss the HE Shopping Mall project.
>
> Members of the steering group and the consultants appointed to produce the
> tender document (to be released shortly) will be in attendance. The
> consultants will give a presentation and there will be an opportunity to
> ask questions.
>
> The financial and organisational framework has now been decided.
>
> It is envisaged that HE Mall will form a virtual reference site on the
> internet acting as a portal enabling easy access to related sites and easy
> return back to HE Mall. The Mall itself will act as a conduit to guide
> users to the most relevant internet sites from across the Higher Education
> sector to meet their specific needs. It will not in itself take over the
> role of other sites or dictate their content or format. It will act as a
> powerful search engine directing users to the full range of relevant
> information available from contributing sites on the world wide web.
>
> The HE Mall will be broken down into a series of zones which will be
> focussed on particular topics or areas of interest and that access to
other
> sites will be via one or more of these zones based on a standard protocol
> to be developed. Appropriate sponsorship and connections to relevant
> commercial sites will be used to generate income with the expectation that
> the project becomes self financing once it is fully up and running
> (expected to be in 2002-03).
>
> The steering group now need to hear the views and opinions of the
> university web community on the implementation of the project.
>
> A lunch will be provided after the meeting.
>
> It is strongly advised that each institution send a representative to
> attend this meeting. Those wishing to attend should email
> [log in to unmask] with the names and contact details of people who
> will be attending so we can organise an appropriately sized venue at the
> CVCP and cater for the correct numbers.
