The University of North Texas School of Library and Information Science is having an alumni gathering Friday evening, October 4. Prospective students are also invited.

I like my alma mater. It has been innovative in delivering MLS education to remote areas. I took the extension courses here in Houston. I had been driving 150 miles each way every Sat. to Austin before UNT began the extension courses. Now they offer on-line courses and real-time classes at distributed sites. They are doing interesting work on Z39.50. If interested in the get together, drop me a note and I'll put you in touch with the organizers.
