Editors and marketing personnel from more than 15 leading publishers will be present and canapés and drinks will be served from 4pm.

Summer job on campus
The Sussex Language Institute wishes to recruit one full-time and one part-time student social and welfare organiser to assist overseas students attending its summer courses (July-September). For details, contact the Student Employment Office in Falmer House, ext. 8146; or Linda Gunn, Executive Officer, Sussex Language Institute, ext. 3234.

Making e-learning easy
Crucially important but technically complex? A new report from the Institute of Employment Studies (IES) on campus aims to make e-learning easy to understand. It examines the key issues - including benefits and pitfalls - that face organisations considering and developing e-learning. The report brings together information from an array of current research and commentary.

Sticky problem
Estates and Facilities Management are currently experimenting with a technique to remove unsightly and anti-social chewing gum from campus. The operation involves breaking down the gum with a water-based chemical, followed by a high-pressure hot wash to remove any residue and clean paving slabs. Staff and students are asked to dispose of chewing gum and other rubbish in one of the many bins dotted around campus - including an additional 20 that have recently been installed.
