The Special Libraries Association, New York Chapter, Social Sciences
Group is proud to announce an upcoming forum,
THE INTERNET AND THE TRANSFORMATION OF THREE COMMUNITIES: Visually
Impaired; Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgendered; and Urban,
Low-Income
How do different communities use the Internet and how has it changed
these communities?
Has the Internet lived up to its promise as a tool to educate, empower
and overcome isolation?
What is virtual community? How does it relate to traditional
communities?
Join us for a provocative forum that will consider the Internet in its
most real and powerful form--as a means of transformation for
individuals and their respective communities.

Gregory Rosmaita, American Foundation for the Blind; World Wide Web
Consortium
