The annual GEM Consortium Meeting is fast approaching. This year we will meet in Dublin, Ohio, a suburb of Columbus. Topics this year include vocabulary issues, international collaboration, future directions for GEM research, and the new Z39.50 relational database system for The Gateway.
GEM provides free brochures and bookmarks for Consortium members to share with their users.
Additionally, the U.S. Department of Education, Office of the Secretary's Regional Representative, distributed 9800 GEM bookmarks to all K-12 Superintendents and Principals throughout Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska. EdNA is a collaboration of all Australian Governments and seeks to encourage the use of online services in Australian education and training. Their site lists and acknowledges GEM as one of EdNA's international alliances for mutual promotion and knowledge sharing. Conference in Syracuse, New York.
