Westward Ho! Onward to Tucson

The NABE/AUBER sessions organized for the spring meeting in Washington, DC, were top-notch. The meeting will be a hard act to follow. AUBER's fall planning committee, however, will do its best to offer interesting sessions that will meet the needs of our diverse group of research communicators. Although we're still in the planning stage, I'd like to share with you some of the confirmed sessions.

• Joseph Curry, president of Sawtooth Technologies, will describe mixed-mode interviewing and its uses, how to create a mixed-mode questionnaire, how to create a sample database, how to execute and monitor the progress of a mixed-mode survey, what the telephone and online versions of a mixed-mode survey look like, and how to export data for analysis.
• Representatives from the Bureau of Labor Statistics will give an on-line demonstration of their extensive web site.
• A panel of four AUBER members will discuss strategies they use to successfully market their centers.
• Production editors from three academic journals will discuss criteria used in accepting manuscripts for publication.

I look forward to seeing you in Tucson.
