Introduction:

Twice each year representatives of CNI's member organizations gather for Task Force Meetings. The meetings are designed to explore new technologies, content, and applications; to further collaboration; to analyze technology policy issues; and to catalyze the development and deployment of new projects.

Project Briefings are the heart of every Task Force Meeting. These briefings address state-of-the-art developments and issues of interest to the membership, as outlined in each year's Program Plan. Architecture and standards, economic challenges, and innovations in teaching and learning are topics that consistently engage CNI members' interests.

About the Briefings:
  • Project Briefings are one-hour break-outs that allow participants to interact informally about projects, initiatives, and ideas of their own choosing.

  • The Briefings are attended by 25-75 people. Attendees include senior IT and library administrators, publishing executives, government officials, and others with a high level of interest in and understanding of networking information issues.

  • The Briefings are intended to provide information about a project's goals, progress, and lessons learned, but they may also involve demonstrations. Issue-oriented briefings include presentation of background information on a "hot topic" and more time for general discussion with the audience.

  • Each Briefing should include at least twenty minutes for general discussion.


Handouts:

CNI will distribute one-page (two-sided) handouts for briefings in the registration packets for the Task Force meeting and these materials will also be available on our web site. The deadline for submitting handouts is NOVEMBER 2, 2001.

For more information, take a look at the Project Briefings for past Task Force Meetings.
