National
Imaging Technology in Education Conference, 26-29 July 2000
NITEC
2000 CD-ROM Call for Contributions!
As
CIPE has done in 1997, 1998, and 1999, a CD-ROM of contributions from
all conference participants will be produced and distributed. The NITEC
2000 CD-ROM will be sent to all participants in the fall of 2000. Additional
copies of the CD-ROM will be available for $25/each (previous years’
CD-ROMs are also available for $25/each).
You
are invited to contribute images, GIS project files, classroom lessons,
research reports, your conference presentation and other electronic
material to the CD-ROM.
To
contribute to the NITEC 2000 CD-ROM, use one of the following options:
- Send your files
as an email attachment to nitec@cis.rit.edu.
In the subject
line for the email, identify it as a NITEC 2000 submission. In the
body of the email, provide contact information, including home and
office telephone numbers, and best times to reach you.
Please be sure
to include a list of all files you are sending, and that all materials
meet the submission guidelines listed below.
- If you have large
files, or a large number of files, you may upload your materials directly
to the NITEC FTP site. Please email nitec@cis.rit.edu
for further instructions.
- Bring your files
to NITEC 2000 and upload them on the NITEC 2000 CD-ROM computers.
- If contributing
files via email or the ftp site and you have large files or a relatively
slow Internet connection, consider compressing your files with Winzip
or Stuffit.
- If contributing
onsite at the conference, submit the files on Windows . or Macintosh
formatted floppy disks, CD-ROMs, or Iomega Zip Disks (100 Meg).
- Submit images
that are to be used with NIH Image or Scion Image in uncompressed
TIFF format.
- Submit other
images in standard formats: GIF, JPG, PNG, BMP. Do not submit images
in proprietary formats specific to an image capture device or software
program. Use your image capture program or an image conversion program
such as IrfanView for Windows computers (available free at http://stud1.tuwien.ac.at/~e9227474/)
or GraphicConverter for Macintosh (available as shareware at http://www.lemkesoft.de/)
to convert your files into a standard format.
- Append each image
file name with the appropriate extension (e.g. TIF, JPG, GIF, PNG, etc.).
- Submit text documents
in Microsoft Word format. If submitting a document that refers to the
images in your submission, include the images as thumbnail-sized graphics
in the document.
- Do not use the
following characters in a filename: * / : ; ? \.
- With each submission,
include a brief Readme file that explains what the submission is and
how it may be used for teaching. Include your name and other contact
information in the Readme file. If your files are platform specific
(for example, an executable that will only run on a Windows computer),
note the platform specificity in the Readme file.
- Complete and submit
permission forms for all material contributed to the CD-ROM. Note that
you must have written permission to use images of any persons. You must
also have written permission to contribute copyrighted and copyrightable
materials produced by other people and organizations. If you are uncertain
about whether you need permission for materials included with your submission,
refer to the Fair Use Guidelines posted on the NITEC 2000 CD-ROM web
page: http://www.eVisual.org/NITEC/NITEC2000CD.html.
