TRANSFORMING E-KNOWLEDGE (TeK): A REVOLUTION IN THE SHARING OF KNOWLEDGE
http://www.transformingeknowledge.info

SCUP's most recent book, by Donald M. Norris, Jon Mason, and Paul
Lefrere is being widely distributed. By the end of February, more than
10,000 copies will be out in readers' hands. Every current member of the
Society by the end of January will receive a complimentary copy of this
$40, 164-page volume when it is shipped with our 2003 Membership
Directory (for delivery in mid-February.) If you've been waivering about
whether or not to join SCUP, now would be the time, in order to qualify
for this exciting book.

About TeK, Diana Laurillard of the Open University (UK) says: We cannot
predict the future, but we do sense that we have the power to shape it.
So we need to take time to reflect: on what those possible futures are,
which are the more desirable, and what it takes to realise them. The
authors of this book set out to help us with that process. On every page
you will find them striving to express the ways in which e-systems can
be exploited, the benefits they could yield, and what we all, indivi-
duals and organisations together, must now do.

The top link, above, is where you can find a website that not only
includes full text of the book but enhances it. You can find out more
about joining SCUP here: http://www.scup.org/questions.htm.
