The conference hosted by Arizona State in October featured presentations by seventeen experts regarding management of electronic records, courseware and research products created at colleges and universities. Experts included archivists, technology professionals, attorneys, university registrars and librarians from ten universities across the nation. Presentation notes or resource lists from thirteen sessions are available for viewing and downloading. The topics addressed include records management for electronic courseware, metadata, collaborative enterprise system design issues and web page preservation. "Since this was the first conference concentrating on university electronic records issues and given the diverse professional backgrounds of our speakers we felt it was important to make these presentations widely available," said conference co-chair Rob Spindler. The presentations are available at <http://www.asu.edu/it/events/ecure/>. Conference officials at Arizona State are already planning for another conference entitled ECURE 2000: Preservation and Access for Electronic College and University Records, to be held in Tempe, Arizona on October 12-13, 2000. Details for ECURE 2000 will also be made available at the website address above. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
