Videoconferencing
to the Rescue
Departments Use Technology to Stretch Time and Budgets
Dee Dee Kitterman had a dilemma. As a member of the interview panel
for the Executive Director position at the Mondavi Institute for
Wine and Food Science, Kitterman received over 40 applications from
interested individuals at businesses and universities all over the
United States. In what may be a harbinger of things to come on campuses
nationwide, Kitterman and the interview panel were able to use videoconferencing
to complete the pre-screening process and realize a significant
savings in both time and money.

UC Launches
Copyright Web Site
Copyright law for the college campus isn’t as simple as it
used to be. Many people are now confused about what they can and
cannot do with digital intellectual property. Bring online file-sharing
into the picture and the legal waters become even muddier. To quell
some of this anxiety, the University of California launched a new
website (www.universityofcalifornia.edu/copyright/) devoted exclusively
to copyright education.
Site Offers Wide
Range of Technology News Topics
Technology news these days encompasses everything from security
alerts to educational technology innovations to file-sharing lawsuits
and campus initiatives. Keeping up is now easier with the new TechNews
Web site produced by Information and Educational Technology (IET).
