Monthly publication
November 2002 Issue
Editorial Notes:
This issue is packed with excellent articles, including the first management tip from Jan Norton, a special article on tests by Dennis Congos, an article by Gary Probst on using POI, a new study skills tip by Robin York, and a study skills resource by Lucy MacDonald (Lucy sent this article from Australia)!
The opportunity is now open to those of you who want to join the LCN team. We are looking for people to take over the following columns:
 | Internet Resource of the Month: reviews web sites of interest to learning assistance professionals. |
| Online Success: On-line study / tutoring tips. |
| Computer Tip of the Month: A tip on computer applications or hardware (Windows, Word, etc.) |
It does not take a lot of time to write an article, and you only need to do it once a month. The article will give you national exposure - the LCN has over 600 subscribers from learning centers across the US. Many of our readers reprint the articles in their own publications giving authors even greater exposure. For more info or to sign up as an LCN columnist, email me.
