While gearing up for the October computer-assisted reporting conference in Silicon Valley (CAR Trek), we're keeping busy with new online activities and an ever-expanding database library. Our latest foray into cyberspace involves Compuserve and JForum. NICAR now has a place in JForum, and IRE member and dedicated CAR journalist Neil Reisner has graciously volunteered to help Our presence on JForum will be a happy addition to our lists at the University of Missouri.

We also continue to receive excellent examples of CAR stories from around the country, and the submission of articles to Uplink increases each month.
