COOS Remains Busy
by J. Michael BoaThe CAS Committee On Online Services (COOS) identifies which CAS publications and services could be delivered better through the Internet. This busy committee manages the burgeoning CAS Web Site and over 80 e-mail mailing lists, including CAS committees, exam study groups, and CASNET. COOS recently expanded its reach by rolling out the Society's first CD ROM product, the Proceedings from 1960 to present.
Moving at Internet speed, COOS continues to deliver. Their most recent initiatives include:
Posting Proceedings on the Web Site—All volumes of the Proceedings, from 1914 to the present, can be accessed online. The CAS Web Site contains additional information about the Proceedings on CD ROM and an order form. Go to www.casact.org/pubs/pcascd.htm to order your copy. Continuing E-commerce Implementation—Registration for all CAS meetings and most seminars can now be performed online. Our next objective will allow students to register for exams, and for anyone to order publications online. Establishing a Spreadsheet Site—Within the "Research" section of the CAS Web Site is a location for spreadsheets that can be downloaded for free. Anyone who would like to post a spreadsheet can do so, subject to review by COOS.
COOS welcomes input and feedback. If you wish to contribute ideas or comments, please send an e-mail to Stewart Sawyer, COOS chairperson, at stewart_sawyer@acordia.com .
