    Dear Colleague,

    Due to a recent offer that Roosevelt and Nottingham-Trent Universities have
    received from the Journal of e.Commerce and Psychology, the deadline for
    submissions to our August 3rd - 4th E-Business conference has been extended
    to May 31, 2001. Following the conference, The Journal of e.Commerce and
    Psychology will publish a special edition featuring its five best papers and
    will, in addition, present an award to the best paper.

    This is an exciting opportunity for everyone involved with the upcoming
    conference, and we invite you to forward this information to any colleagues
    that you feel would be interested in attending. Please review the original
    call for presentations, which follows, and visit our conference website via

    Call for Submissions

    Business schools around the world have begun to recognize the need to
    integrate E-Business and E-commerce issues into their curricula. However,
    many schools appear to be struggling with issues such as:
    ? What exactly is E-Business?
    ? How should E-Business be taught?
    ? What courses should be included in an E-Business Program?
    ? How should current courses be altered to reflect the importance of
    E-Business?

    In order to provide answers to some of the questions, Nottingham-Trent
    University in the U.K. and Roosevelt University in the U.S. invite academics
    and business leaders to submit presentation proposals for the first
