Attached is a copy of the Academic Technology and Networks Annual Report for fiscal year 1998-99. In addition to highlighting many of our accomplishments this past year, it should serve as a reference to summarize many of the information technology services and directions in which your faculty, staff, and students are interested. Please share it with your technical support staff and your IT advisory committees as appropriate. A limited number of additional copies are available if you contact Rhoda Samuels at 962-3442. 1 am also happy to meet with you and your colleagues to provide additional information and review any of our services and directions.

Additionally, Please note that the report covers several technologies that were highlighted in the Chancellor's Task Force on Intellectual Climate. A short brochure describing just these technologies in more detail will be mailed to you within a few weeks. In the meantime, please refer to the following pages and URLs for information on technologies specifically related to supporting intellectual climate.
