Notes from October 16, 2001

What classifications can we get?

Actions

Keep in mind that some actions are goal-oriented and others are not. Non-goal oriented actions might be acquiring information about a person from posters, lecture notices, and conference call for papers. Also jokes, etc.

HandoutsAssignments (e.g. papers, journals)
AnnouncementsInformation (e.g. stopped by)
Job Listings
Articles
