    Dear Colleagues

    We are pleased to announce that Nina Wakeford (Director of the Incubator
    for Critical Inquiry into Technology and Ethnography (INCITE) research
    centre in the Department of Sociology, University of Surrey, UK) will
    present the keynote address opening this year's conference on Cultural
    Attitudes towards Technology and Culture (CATaC'04). Professor Wakeford's
    address is entitled "Technology and Mobility at the Margins".

    The program for CATaC'04 further includes presenters from 28 countries
    focusing on six major themes:
    1. Culture: theory and praxis
    2. ICTs and intercultural communication
    3. ICTs and cultural hybridity
    4. Culture and economy
    5. Governments and activists in culture, technology and communication
    6. Culture, communication, and e-learning
    as well as several themed sessions.

    The program also includes two panels, each chaired and shaped by
    distinguished colleagues:
    1. The Multilingual Internet - chairs, Susan Herring and Brenda Danet
    2. Utopian Dreams vs. Real-World Conditions: Under what conditions can ICTs
    really help worse off communities? - chair, Michel Menou

    CATaC'04 will take place 27 June - 1 July 2004, in the "city of the sun" -
    Karlstad, Sweden - right after Midsummer celebrations on June 25-26.

    For additional information regarding the conference, including complete
    program, accommodation, registration, and travel information, please see

    delivery of quality, copyrighted content in higher education, including:

    - The impact of the rising costs of scholarly materials
    - Peer-to-peer file sharing over university networks
    - The impact of digital rights management systems
    - Current legislation impacting copyright and higher education
    - Other provocative topics pertinent to the symposium subject

    >For the researcher of today, the brave new world of information
