GUIDELINES ON CONTRIBUTING TO THE REPORT ON USE OF I.T. TECHNOLOGY AS PART OF THE 'DIGITAL FUTURES' LECTURE SERIES IN THE BONINGTON LECTURE THEATRE SEMESTER 1, 1997-98.

Your individual contribution should not exceed 1 side of A4 in standard type (e.g. 12pt, 1 inch margins). It should be submitted as printed copy (which will be reproduced as part of the Report).

Any additional supporting information (up to 4 sides of A4) can also be included and may feature within an Appendix of the final Report. It obviously should not include any information regarded as confidential to TNTU.
The Report centres on the Bonington Lecture Theatre and the 'Digital Futures' series which occurred there in Semester 1, 1997-98. The lecture series commenced on Monday 29th September and concluded on Monday 19th January 1998.

The Report will refer to both 'permanently installed' equipment (as then, as now and in any future plans) and portable items installed for particular sessions.

It is understood and accepted that the extent to which individual contributions will be specific to the Bonington Lecture Theatre IT provision will vary (depending on individual roles and responsibilities). All contributors are requested to include Bonington Lecture by name within their range of references. Contributors whose role is closely or wholly connected with Bonington may find it is appropriate to only mention it to the exclusion of all others.

Contributors are free to include technical details and IT specifications as they feel to be most appropriate. One value of the case study is seen as the variety of views, skills and information which have to mesh to provide the best IT facility for the particular purpose of lecture delivery.
The deadline for receipt of contributions is 12 noon Friday 3rd April and no extensions are possible!

Contributions should be sent to Barry Smith at the Live Art Archive, Victoria Studios, Shakespeare Street by the closing date and earlier if possible.

If you require further clarification on any aspects please don't hesitate to contact me (Extn 4219, e-mail barry.smith@ntu.ac.uk).
