O'Links
Compiled by Claudia
Lynch, Benchmarks Online Editor
Once in awhile
we like to highlight UNT Web sites that are of interest
to the campus community but may have escaped your
detection. The last time we printed such a list was in June
of 1999, so we're overdue. Listed below are some
sites/pages that you may have missed.
General Links
- UNT News and Events
-- This is the UNT News Service page. Things
posted here are frequently associated with
sources of funding, big expenditures, large gifts
etc. Also covered are events that will be of
interest beyond the Denton campus.
- Events Calendar --
Dates for major Metroplex and university-wide
events are listed here. The purpose of this site
is to aid you in planning an event so that it
won't be conflicting with other events on campus
or the Metroplex. Metroplex events include
miscellaneous events in Denton, Bass Performance
Hall in Fort Worth, Meyerson Center in Dallas,
Texas Motor Speedway and Majestic Theatre in
Dallas.
- University of North
Texas Press -- According to their Web page,
the UNT Press has over 140 titles currently in

Texana, folklore, and multiculturalism. Various
series are also published, including the Vassar
Miller Prize in Poetry, and Publications of the
Texas Folklore Society.
- Printing
Services and Copy Centers -- Everything you
need to know about the services available from

disks.
