Logging on to Lunar and Planetary Instit. Computers & Misc. Info

[Carole Lisa Albyn <ALBYN@LPI.JSC.NASA.GOV>]

I am planning to sign off the list, and want to post this
information for your files on how to get into our computers.
Please feel free to cross post this information as widely as
you want. Librarians may want to refer us to their space science
buff students so that they can log on from home. The information
will appeal mostly to highschool level and beyond. *Our Bulletin
will be of interest to 4th graders up, and is a good
place to send students looking for recent information on Lunar and
planetary sciences. Via mosaic you can even access the pictures that
accompany the articles.

I just have one last request from the list (this fits under & misc.).
I give a workshop on picture books and storytime to local early childhood
caregivers. If anyone has a favorite storytime picture book/s for K please
forward the title/s and comments to me at albyn@lpi.jsc.nasa.gov.

Thanks so much!

Best wishes for a safe and productive school year.

Sincerely,

Carole Albyn
