|  | | en español Welcome to the online planning site for the NEH Central Region Humanities Center at Ohio University. Within this site are folders containing discussions of the 25 planning groups whose topics are listed below. During this planning year, August 1, 2000 to July 31, 2001, we are reaching out across the region to identify existing organizations and hum
anities programs with regional focus. The Inventory, Preservation, and Internet/Information Task Forces are identifying existing and needed resources. Other task forces will set agendas for collaboration, research, and programming (including K-16 curricula, multicasting, and publishing). The Research Task Force consists of thematic roundtable discussions conducted by Internet, telephone, and other means, for the purpose of identifying needed research and programs. If you a
re interested in joining one or more of these discussions, have suggestions for how the Center could serve the region, or would like to receive Keeping Current, the Center's newsletter (via e-mail or in paper form), we invite you to contact the Administrative Associate, Diana Glaizer (crhc@www.ohiou.edu; 740-593-4602). We will be happy to discuss how you might participate, pass information on to the appropriate group, or add your name
to our mailing list.
