<<Attention Directors, Managers, Analysts, Consultants, Programmers,
<<Technical Writers, Trainers, and Librarians!
<< 
<<The higher education computing scene in the 1990s will present exciting
<<challenges.  To accommodate users' needs, computing service organizations
<<are now visibly transforming in function and structure.  The widespread
<<adoption of personal computing by all disciplines, the increasing demand
<<for desktop access to shared resources, the growth in demand for
<<supercomputing capabilities, and the proliferation of powerful desktop
<<workstations exert irresistible forces on central computing services.
<<In response, the central site grows exponentially in staff and machinery
<<at one academic institution; at another, the computing center is disbanded
<<to provide distributed computing!  At some sites increasing specialization
<<is urged; at others, generalization is required.  Regardless of the
<<transforming strategy adopted by an individual institution, one fact
<<seems clear:  the user is the center toward which all computing services
<<are directed.
<< 
<<SIGUCCS '90 invites you to participate in the examination and discussion
<<of the myriad challenges facing user services professionals as we enter a
<<new decade and of the new centerings computing service organizations are
<<discovering to meet them.  Please join us!
