I have recently joined LM_Net. My name is Susan Veccia, and I am the editor of a new magazine that will make its premiere in May 1994. MultiMedia Schools will be published by Online, Inc. of Wilton, CT. Some of you may know the Databases in Schools annual conference. Chaired by Pam Berger, Online, Inc. is the sponsor of that conference. In addition to the Databases and Schools conference, Online/Pemberton Press has for many years published ONLINE , DATABASE, and CD-ROM Professional, magazines sharply focused on the needs of the broad library community. MultiMedia Schools is the first Online, Inc. publication focused specifically on a segment of the professional educational community: K-12 schools. If you have ideas about things that you would like to see covered, I hope you will get in touch with me. MultiMedia Schools is written for and by school professionals. We will include product tests (online, Internet, and CD-ROM) , practical how-to advice on effective and efficient use of information resources in schools as well as address some of the broader issues of information literacy. We see MultiMedia Schools as being helpful to teachers, librarians, technology coordinators, and perhaps even parents. It is not a magazine about school restructuring. It is a magazine about how to use electronic tools that may facilitate restructuring -- or more simply, "good education." MultiMedia Schools will publish bi-monthly during the school year: May, September, November, January, and March. I welcome any suggestions for articles, columns, or reviews.
