                  SMALL COLLEGE COMPUTING SYMPOSIUM

                          April 16-17, 1993
            University of Northern Iowa, Cedar Falls Iowa

               Session Proposals due:  December 1, 1992


CONFERENCE TOPICS & GOALS
     The 26th Small College Computing Symposium will provide an opportunity
for sharing useful experience, knowledge, and wisdom with colleagues.
Proposals are desired for papers, posters, panel or discussion sessions,
etc. which report successful or innovative aspects of using, managing,
teaching with, and teaching about computers in small colleges.
     We anticipate receiving and locally reviewing proposals from all areas
of campus activity typical to small colleges--humanities, arts, sciences,
education, business, academic computing, library/information/media
services, student services, etc.  Topics addressed might include teaching
with computer technology, integrating computer topics into the curriculum,
the sociology of computing, administering computing facilities, teaching
computer use/skills/science, etc.  Course-specific, discipline-specific,
and general issues proposals are all welcome.  Student papers and honors
theses are also appropriate.
     Planned conference structure specifically allows for papers, posters,
and panel discussions.  We will, however, be flexible and quality proposals
in other formats such as tutorials, birds-of-a-feather, vendor sessions,
etc. will be considered.  A Proceedings will be produced and will include
papers, panel position papers, and abstracts or descriptions for other
sessions.  Paper presentations will be one half-hour long while other
sessions will likely be one and one-half hours in duration.

PROPOSAL CONTENT AND REVIEW
     Proposal reviews, by local individuals in areas appropriate to
proposals (as much as possible), will examine innovativeness, breadth of
applicability & interest, general quality, and communication demonstrated
in the proposal.
     All proposals should have a cover sheet indicating title; authors &
affiliations; (postal & e-mail) address & telephone number of contact
person; session type; and three to five key words or phrases indicating the
area of campus activity (discipline, department, or office) and how
computing is involved (instructional delivery, student/teacher tool,
curriculum impact, etc.).  Author data should appear only on the cover
sheet while key words/phrases should also appear on papers/abstracts.  Form
and number of copies of proposals depend on session type.
     Papers or extended abstracts (at least 350 words) may be submitted
(four copies).  If abstracts, clearly indicate the content of the paper.
Maximum paper length is 10 pages.
     Poster proposals may be complete documents or abstracts (100-300
words, one page maximum).  Four copies.
     Panel presentations should be more general than papers or posters.
Clearly indicate the topic, how it will be addressed, and expected
panelists & their backgrounds.  Two copies.
     In proposals for other types of sessions, clearly indicate both topic
and format.  Two copies.

THE CONFERENCE
     First held in 1967, the Small College Computing Symposium was founded
and exists to encourage and enhance the use of computing in instruction and
research at small colleges in the upper Midwest.  SCCS is one of the oldest
conferences of its type in the nation.  This 26th consecutive meeting of
the conference will provide an opportunity for sharing techniques, ideas,
and results of scholarship with colleagues interested in quality
undergraduate education.

THE HOST
     Though technically not a small school, The University of Northern Iowa
prides itself on quality undergraduate education and having the look and
feel of a small college.  Join us in sharing ways to further improve our
common endeavors.
