Informational Bulletins

Late Registration — Fall 2010

The sign up for Fall 2010 Omnilore classes is completeb, but there is still time for late registration. Take a look at Fall 2010 Curriculum Topics and fugure out what class you want to take. Then take a look at the Fall 2010 Class Roster and find out who is coordinating the class. Find the coordinator's phone or email address by consulting the Summer 2010 Online Members Roster. Finally, contact the coordinator and ask if you can be added to the class. It is that easy! Good luck; some classes have to close early because they are so popular. [Note: All three links above are available only to members and are located in the password-protected Members Only section of the Website.]

Spring 2010 Showcase Winners

Take a look at our recent posting of the Spring 2010 SDG Showcase Winners.

A Showcase Winner is an Omnilore honor. At the end of each trimester, everyone in each SDG is sent an email survey. On the Spring 2010 survey, there was a question at the end that asked: "Is there any one outstanding creative or scholarly work developed by a class member in the course of this SDG that you would like to see showcased on our Omnilore Website during the following trimester? If so, please identify it by the name of the author." These are the winners from that survey.

Take time to browse the list and see the type of presentations that members have found particularly outstanding. Many of the presentations can be views by clicking on their DOC, PDF, or PPT links. You'll be amazed at some of the talent and hard work demonstrated by the examples. Congratulations to all the winners!
