Under the patronage of the US National Commission of Libraries and Information Science (NCLIS), together with the National Library of Latvia, NIT '95 was held in Riga, Latvia in November 1995. The Conference Organizer was Dr.Ching-chih Chen, Professor and Associate Dean of the Graduate School of Library and Information Science, Simmons College, Boston.
The conference was organized for library and information professionals, education media specialists and technologists representing the Baltic States, the United States, the Ukraine, Russia and the United Kingdom.
During the Conference there were reports and debates on technical and creative issues relating to IT development, the use of IT in libraries and the use and dissemination of information.
Delegates received a CD-ROM called "A quick guide to NIT" with text and images relating to four of the previous conferences.
The content of the Conference Programme is on a Home Page prepared by the University of Latvia. The URL for this is www.lanet.lv Within the framework of the Conference the National Library of Latvia had organized the presentation of special library furniture from Germany, (Schulzbibliotekstechnik GMBH Speyer), which is very useful, multi-functional, attractive, ecologically friendly and of very good quality with a twenty year guarantee! If anyone would like their address, email Irina Vasiljeva on . Or fax: (+371) 2 782 1395.
The next NIT Conference will be held in Pretoria.
Microform Publications of Human Movement Studies, which disseminates graduate research completed in colleges and universities in the United States and Canada, has begun to expand its collection of theses from colleges and universities in other English-speaking conutries.
Microform Publications currently has many international subscribers, but until now has included relatively few studies from abroad in the collection, which numbers almost 8,000 microforms and covers more than 40 years of graduate research in full text.
Microform Publications invites universities and professors from other English-speaking countries to submit their students' work in the form of abstracts. Masters theses and dissertations should relate to the allied areas of health, physical education, recreation, dance, exercise and sport sciences, sport history, and sport-related issues in the humanities and social sciences. There is no charge to the student or the university for inclusion in the collection.
