> We are seeking proposals for 20-minute presentations addressing the

> developments in technology as they affect feminist Germanists. What

> online and how will it challenge us as intellectuals, academics,

> to receive
> submissions on the following topics:
>
> Online publishing: What does it take to publish and distribute a

> journals
> evaluated by tenure and promotions committees? How can and do  
> articles in
> online journals differ from those in paper publications?
>
> e-Knowledge: What are the pros and cons of electronic sourcing? Is  
> knowledge
> increasingly falling under corporate control? If so, who is  
> targeted as the
> ideal consumer of this knowledge, and what does it cost? How can we  
> adapt
> Google to the needs of the academic community? How do changes in  
> technology
> impact the university library's archival mission? Are certain  
> varieties of
> knowledge are endangered with the encroachment of electronic  
> databases? Is
> information stored on outdated devices extinct?
>
> Research: How do we find what we're looking for? What do we need to  
> know
> about library search engines? How do we conduct a productive online  
> search
> and keep track of the results with programs such as Endnote and  
> Refworks?
> Where are the best digitized resources for Germanists? What are the
> advantages and disadvantages of using them? The shift to online  
> technologies
> has enabled new forms of collaboration between individuals and  
> institutions
> across the globe. What are the possibilities for and the deterrents to
> teamwork in the world of Germanistik?
>
> Teaching and Technology: What do students know about online  
> research? What
> should they know? What forms of electronic communication are we  
> obliged to
> teach students of foreign languages? How can we make the most of  
> course
> websites and services such as WebCT and Blackboard? How has the  
> language lab
> adapted to the Internet? What are publishers of language textbooks  
> offering?
> What can we do with services such as Google Maps, flickr, del.icio.us,
> blogger.com, facebook, and, ..um.., what are they? What should  
> older people
> know about how younger people use the Internet, and vice versa? Do  
> male and
> female students use technology differently? Is there a place for video
> gaming in the academy?
>
> From the Provost's Office: How do administrators envision the  
> intersection
> of technology and higher education? How have computerized record- 
> keeping
> systems affected faculty productivity? Who is maintaining,  
> financing and
