The fact that you are reading this post means you're interested in digital literacy, right? We sure are. And, at the risk of sounding like a UFO enthusiast, let me say we are not alone. But just what kind of company are we keeping? How many places should we set at the academic dinner table for our fellow digital literacy proponents?

The membership of the NMC is by its nature a creative group. For the first time, the University of Wisconsin - Madison, would like to offer you a different opportunity to showcase your artistic talent.  The idea for such a show is coming from our keynote speaker Dr. Ahna Skop, who has been coordinating art shows at her scientific meetings for years.  We are open to all artistic works and are expecting the unexpected. The date for RSVPs is April 22 to give us time to plan adequate space.
