The President and the Provost are mounting home pages that act as windows on the work of their offices, with links to many sites involved
in the formation of plans and academic initiatives for the 21st Century.
The web site just opened by the University Archives is not only a repository of history in words and images, but a working tool for answering questions about Penn today.
Also shown: Among the most ambitious of the nation's growing number of scanning initiatives is the Library's new Center for Electronic Text and Image, based on unique materials gathered over the past 200 years by the University Librarians. And, not shown but newly online is the Faculty Senate's home page, found at http://www.upenn.edu/faculty_senate/.
At presstime, URLs had not been finalized for the home pages of the President's and Provost's offices shown here. Navigators can expect to find them by September 3 via Penn's home page: http://www.upenn.edu/

Almanac
#211 Nichols House, 3600 Chestnut Street
Philadelphia PA 19104-6106
From the print version of this issue:
Why is this issue of Almanac individually addressed?
We do this once a year to notify faculty and staff that the journal of record, opinion and news is back in weekly production, with Compass features continuing as a special section. (Job Opportunities resume weekly production next week; but see information in this issue about finding them during breaks.)
Normally Almanac is distributed via bulk drops to individual buildings, where each department chooses its own system for further distribution.To find out how the system works, try the departmental secretary first, or the head of the school or building mailroom.
If all else fails, mail your label to Almanac (see address above), or fax it to us at 898-9137, adding your campus phone number so we can direct you to a source of help.
Almanac and the Compass features are also available electronically at https://almanac.upenn.edu/archive.
