From: BSCW Management

Firstly, we hope you all had a fun, productive time at conference - we certainly did. As those of you who attended will know, the next big event will be the next Networking Day. This year's is on 22nd March,

11am- 5pm, followed by a party, as last year. Hope to see you all again, and some of the rest of you too.

As also announced at conference, full members of the BSCW are now able to edit their online CVs as much and as often as you each require. We hope you'll enjoy keeping them up to date.

Go to the usual CV page, and there is a link on there which claims 'Now you can edit your CV online" - follow this one and you can see your own CV, and fill in the blanks. The CV is also available for editing in sections; each section can be hidden or displayed. Also, the whole CV can be hidden or displayed at your choice.

Hopefully, it is self-explanatory on how it works. Your username and password will give you access to this section, so go and have a look, and update everything.
