POSTED FOR STEVE THOMPSON, THOMPSON@BROWNVM.BITNET:

I am interested in whether there are any universities which currently
have facilities for accessing online course announcements.  I am creating
such a program for Brown, and I don't want to reinvent the wheel.

What I envision is a system which gives the student up-to-date info
about courses which can be used for planning courseloads and registration.
The facility will NOT be an electronic method for registering for courses;
that program is for the future sometime.

I would especially like to hear about useful features, undesirable features,
how students use your system most frequently, how they would WANT to use it,
how it is maintained, etc.  I guess it won't be a replacement to a printed
catalog, but an added resource.

If you can also provide me with the net or paper-mail address of the 
maintainer(s), that would help too.

Thanks!

Steve Thompson
