| Abstract
|
The University of Toronto's IEEE Student Branch have kindly made available
their IEEE McNaughton Learning Resource Centre with its personal computers
and connection to the Internet. Using this facility, Bob will walk us
through the various steps to connect to four IEEE web sites:
- IEEE Toronto
- IEEE Canada
- IEEE Canadian Foundation
- IEEE Worldwide
We will discuss the kind of information you can find, and how to access this
information as well as a number of IEEE services using our computer
with an Internet connection. The presentation will be quite informal, with
questions welcome any time, and an opportunity for hands-on use for anyone
interested.
- receiving newsletter alerts via email messages
- reading newsletters on the web
- renewing our IEEE membership each year (now necessary for life members)
- updating information about ourselves that IEEE stores and uses to send us
Spectrum, the Life Members Newsletter
- ordering special items from IEEE
This will be an opportunity to meet with other Life Members, renew
connections and make new friends. Come out and tell us how the Section can
serve your needs or simply say "HELLO" to your fellow IEEE Members.
