list, but I think this warrants some public discussion. I'm not personally
involved in e-text production in my work so I've chosen to watch this issue
from the stands, but as an observer I think there has been progress on
this issue from within the AHEAD e-text group. Many of the members of that
group are in fact ATHEN members, so I don't see a need for a separate committee
working toward the same goal. That said though, I'll defer to those who are
actually involved in the AHEAD e-text effort to clarify the current state of
things. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Subject: [Athen] call for committee on e-text standards in
higher ed<br>
<br>
Hello All:<br>
<br>
I am posting this request for Zahavit and Susan Anthes. They are<br>
interested in starting a committee on e-text standards in Higher<br>
ed. For more details, direct your questions to Zahavit who can<br>
be reached via this listserv or directly at: Zahavit Paz<br>
<<a href="mailto:zpaz@ldrfa.org">zpaz@ldrfa.org</a>>.<br>
<br>
For those of you who attended the conference a couple of weeks<br>
ago, thank you for your participation and I hope it was<br>
worthwhile. Have a good holiday.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Howard Kramer<br>
