BCR is pleased to debut its first entirely Internet-based workshop. Beginning February 1,the GPO Access workshop will be delivered in a web format. Readings, assignments and discussion will all take place through e-mail and the World Wide Web.

Participants should register for the workshop in the usual manner -- either through BCR's web sign-up form (www.bcr.org/workshop/wkshp-gud.html), by phone or fax a completed registration form from your BCR Workshop Schedule to (303) 751-9787. Your registration will be acknowledged by e-mail, and you will be given a password to access the workshop's web pages. You will also be asked to send an e-mail message introducing yourself to the class. Readings and worksheets will be available on the web site; you have a week to complete the worksheets and mail in your answers. If you complete the assignments within the week, you will receive a $20 rebate. During the week, you are encouraged to send in questions and comments regarding the material. These will be posted as linked web pages so all workshop participants can benefit.

Participants must have have access to a computer with Internet connectivity and to have some experience using a web browser.
