MARCH 9 TO BE FOURTH CONFERENCE ON
The Wharton Research Center
411 State Street TECHNOLOGY AND THE RESEARCH ENVIRONMENT OF THE FUTURE
Albany, New York 12203
518-472-1300
Commissioner of Education Thomas Sobol has announced that the fourth
conference in the series "Technology and the Research Environment of the Future"
will take place on Thursday, March 9, 1989 at the Cultural Education Center in
Albany, from 1:30-4:45 p.m.
The program, "active Documents: Electronic Correspondence and Publication,"
will be moderated by Dr. Mark B. Myers, Vice President and Manager, Webster
Research Center, Xerox Corporation. Dr. David Levy, Member of the Research Staf.
at the Xerox’ Palo Alto Research Center, will speak on "Documents in Their Place,"
the human relationships to documents and their history. Dr. James Morris,
Director of Computer Science at Carnegie-Mellon University, will speak on "What's
Next for Electronic Mail," a discussion’of the National Science Foundation-
sponsored EXPRES project at Carnegie-Mellon and the University of Michigan, which
deals with fuuure approaches to dommentation and correspondence. Dr. John
Seeley Brown, Vice President, Advanced Résearch, Palo Alto Research Center, and
Associate Director, Institute for Research on Learning, will speak on "The Future
of Documents — Their Structure, Their Use: How Active Documents Enhance
Collaborative Creative Work."
The New-York State Library is conducting this series of conferences to
address the implications of scientific research affecting knowledge transfer —
investigation, publication, education — in 5 years, 10 years, beyond the year
2000. Research and scholarly communication will be profoundly changed by what is
taking place now in the world's leading research laboratories, just as our 1989
enviroment has been profoundly shaped by discoveries of the 1960s and 1970s.
The laboratory investigations of 20 years ago — in laser phenomena, light-
icting media, digital data organization and transmission, ceramic properties,
to name just a few areas — now surround us in the technology of fiber optic
networks, satellite communications, packet switching, microminiaturization, and
other transformations of the methods and environment of our work. Current
research will similarly alter the future in significant ways. —~
This series will help prepare those who will be responsible for working
with, and guiding, that future by acquainting them with major new scientific
directions. The public sessions are intended for a wide audience of
professionals concerned with education, research, information processing,
governance and quality control of scholarship, institutional facilities planning
and other services associated with the generation and exchange of knowledge.
Commissioner Sobol noted that, "This series is designed to provide an
opportunity to think beyond current experience, through the realm of what might
be, and to plan for an extended range of technological possibilities. The series
will expand conceptual horizons to enable participants to consider innovative
prototypes, research results and potential results in the management of their
institutions, and in their plans for new facilities and services."
The series led off with "Frontiers in Materials Science" on September 15,
1987, continuing with "Advanced Concepts in Computing" on February 2, 1988, and
"The Infrastructure of the Future on May 6, 1988.
The conference is open to public administrators, educators, information
professionals, researchers, and others whose common bond is the use or support of
information for research. The program will. begin at 1:30 p.m. in the Auditorium
of the Cultural Education Center, Empire State Plaza, Albany.
No preregistration is required. For additional information, write:

IBM Donates lon Implantation System to University at Albany
IBM Corporation has donated to the University at Albany an ion impiantation system
valued at $1 million that will play a valuable role in Albany’s highly regarded
materials physics program. The system, formally known as the Model 1UDH MeV Ion
Implanter, is made by National Electrostatics Corporation.
Modern electronic devices (from digital watches to large computers) could not be
made without ion implantation, a technique in which impurity atoms are carefully
introduced into critical areas of the device. While low energy ion implantation has
been used for about 20 years, it is only in the last few years that high energy (MeV)
implantation has been used commercially. The University intends to use this machine
to study the basic science associated with MeV ion implantation.
The five-year-old machine cost $2.4 million when new. IBM’s gift to Albany
includes the implanter, now valued at $750,000, and $250,000 in unused spare parts.
In accepting the machine for the University, President Vincent O’Leary said:
"This system is a major addition to our research facilities. Our materials scientists
are enthusiastic and plan to put it to work immediately on a variety of
investigations. We are most grateful for IBM’s generosity and confidence in the
University."
"This gift is part of IBM’s effort to support and encourage research in
universities and collaboration between universities and industry. The University at
Albany’s well-known research efforts in both ion beams and defect science make it a
natural location for such a facility," says James F. Ziegler, manager of the ion beam
group at IBM’s Watson Research Laboratory in Yorktown Heights, N.Y.
MeV implantation is so new that, as yet, there is no comparable facility at any
other North American university.
IBM Page 2
"This is one of those must instruments for a materials science program," said
Nelson Cue, chair of the University’s Department of Physics. "With a price tag of
$2.4 million when new, however, the system was beyond our financial means. IBM’s gift
is a great opportunity for us."
The system consists of two main components, a 1.2-million-volt tandem accelerator
and a specially designed ion implantation end station. "This machine carefully
controls the environment and produces extremely pure ion beams, which, in turn,
permits high quality ion implantation,” says William Lanford, a professor in the
University’s Physics Department.
Despite recognized advantages, large-scale applications of MeV implantation have
been held back because of incomplete understanding of the defects produced during
implantation and of how to remove these defects. That problem is just one of many
that Albany’s Department of Physics expects to tackle with the new machine. Playing a
major role in that and related research projects will be University physicists James
Corbett, a world expert on impurity and defects in semiconductors, and Walter Gibson,
a pioneer in ion implantation research.
"The tandem accelerator is an extremely important component in its own right,"
says Lanford. "In time, we hope to attach more experimental stations to it, thus
expanding our range of research opportunities." The new accelerator will complement
the University’s existing 4.5 MV Dynamitron accelerator (used principally for
analysis) and its 150 kV low energy implanter.
The machine will be installed shortly in the basement of the University’s physics
building. Its previous home was IBM’s facility in Burlington, Vt., where it was used
to improve the reliability of high-density semiconductor memory chips.

Programs Treat Schoolchildren Troubled by Anxieties
The Center for Stress and Anxiety Disorders of the University at Albany offers two
programs for schoolchildren ages 6 to 16 who are experiencing difficulties with fear
and anxieties.
One program treats children who are afraid to attend classes. The other treats
children who suffer from such general anxieties and phobias as fear of darkness, loud
noises, crowds, dogs, etc. Both programs are headed by psychologist Wendy Silverman.
School phobias may result from a fear of teachers, other children, tests,
speaking before a class, or may be rooted in family problems. Children who have been
chronically absent from school for a year or more are not eligible for treatment.
For more information, call Christopher Kearney or Dr. Silverman at 456-4127,

Two Albany Professors Named Distinguished Teaching Professors
Two University at Albany professors have been promoted to the rank of Distinguished
Teaching Professor by the State University of New York Board of Trustees. Eugene K.
Garber, a professor of English, and Bruce B. Marsh, a professor of physics, are the
eighth and ninth members of the Albany faculty to receive the distinction.
Garber is a leading scholar in composition theory and pedagogy and a leading
national figure in "writing across the disciplines," the effort to revolutionize the
teaching of writing at American universities. Marsh played a leadership role in
developing courses in the Department of Physics and in physics education research.
In nominating Garber for the rank, University at Albany President Vincent O’Leary
said, "He is an accomplished writer and active scholar, a caring citizen of the
University and, most important, a dedicated and accomplished teacher."
Since his arrival at Albany in 1977, Garber has taught an extraordinarily wide
-more-
page 2 ¢
array of graduate and undergraduate courses and seminars, and his teaching dedication was
recognized in 1982 when he received the Presidential Award for Excellence in Graduate
Teaching. He served for ten years as the director of the Capital District Writing
Project, a site of the National Writing Project.
From 1978 to 1981, Garber chaired a special committee on the University’s
education. That committee transformed the University’s undergraduate curriculum
requirements. His service to the profession earned him the Creative Artist Public Service
Award for New York State in 1984.
In addition to his teaching excellence and dedication, Garber is a first class
fiction writer, specializing in short stories. His major book, Metaphysical Tales, won
the Associated Writing Program’s 1981 prize for short fiction. His short stories have
been published in the world’s most prestigious literary magazines, including The Ohio
Review, The Paris Review, The Denver Quarterly, and the Kenyon Review. In 1974 and 1977 £
Garber’s short stories, "The Father" and "The Lover" were anthologized in the series,
The Best American Short Stories. And "The Poets" was anthologized in the Norton
Anthology of Contemporary Fiction. In 1988, "The Gallant" won the Kansas Arts Commission
Fiction Award, judged by John Gardner. His work in progress is a novel, Resurrection.
Garber is an alumnus of Tulane University, where he earned a B.A. in English and
Latin, and of the University of Iowa, where he earned a Ph.D. in English and Creative
Writing.
soo
Bruce Marsh "is a dedicated teacher who has broken much new ground in developing
pedagogical techniques and materials throughout his career," said O’Leary. Marsh is an
Albany alumnus who has taught at the University since 1962.
The founder of the Capital Area Physics Teachers Association, Marsh has been a key
player in bringing physics teachers on different SUNY campuses together to collaborate on ¢
-more-
page 3
teaching strategies. Since focusing his research on particle-solid interactions in 1980,
Garber has co-authored 19 publications in physics journals,
His most recent discovery is a new microanalysis technique called Charge Collection
Ion Microscopy (CCIM), which utilizes the unique features of the University’s ion
microbeam facility. CCIM has the potential for pinpointing the location and identifying
the type of microscopic defects in any diode part of a semiconductor device. With the
increasing complexities of fabricating Very Large and Ultra Large Scale Integrated (VLSI
and ULSI) chips, there will be tremendous cost savings if the defects are detected and
eliminated at each fabrication stage. A patent application is under review and a journal
publication on CCIM is being prepared.
Marsh is a member of the American Physical Society, American Association of Physics
Teachers and Sigma Xi. He earned a Bachelor of Science at the University at Albany and a
Ph.D. in Physics at the University of Rochester.
eK
The award honors outstanding teachers who have attained the rank of professor and have
had at least three years of full-time regular teaching at the undergraduate, graduate and
professional levels. This is the 17th year the distinction has been awarded, and the
naming of Garber and Marsh brings the total number of Distinguished Teaching Professors
to 85 statewide.

TEACHERS, LIBRARIANS TO EMBARK ON HOMER'S 'ODYSSEY' FOR TEENS
Librarians and other school personnel from around the state will be embarking on an
unusual journey which educators hope will result in a greater awareness of the humanities
among New York's teenagers.
The 18-month undertaking, entitled "A Learning Odyssey," will show participants how
the disciplines of anthropology, classics, history, literature and philosophy can be used to
develop public library programs to enhance understanding of various works for 14- to
17-year-old students. The new program is funded by a $148,600 grant from the National
Endowment for the Humanities and matching funds and in-kind services of $287,000 from
the University at Albany, the New York State Library and other state as well as private
sources.
Forty community teams from urban, suburban and rural regions of the state will be
recruited this spring and summer to participate. Each team will have up to five people,
including school library media specialists and public librarians, humanities teachers and
school administrators. Using "The Odyssey" as the sample work for the project, team
members will read Homer's epic poem, keeping the multi-disciplined approach in mind and
considering contemporary parallels in movies, plays and music.
"Young adults will respond to great literature that is made relevant to their world,”
and Gregory I. Stevens, Assistant Dean of the College of Humanities and Fine Arts at the
University at Albany and project director of the university/library cooperative venture.
"We are using 'The Odyssey’ as“an example to show that even the most ancient of stories
can illustrate the vitality of what the humanities can offer today."
October 18-20 for a two-day workshop. Scholars from the University at Albany will each
interpret "The Odyssey" to show how various disciplines bring their own perspectives to a
particular work. Outstanding Young Adult Librarians will then conduct workshops to help
participants identify how humanities programming can be made more appealing to
teenagers.
The partnership of school and public librarians is an essential ingredient to successful
library programming for teens, according to Roberta G. Cade, Director of the New York
State Library's Division for Library Development. The ‘Learning Odyssey' will encourage
educational partnerships to reach more young people with-lively, relevant programs.
To make sure that the program's work is implemented, the teams will convene in
regional mini-workshops at a future date to give progress reports and share successful
methods of developing humanities programming. The teams are expected to use a variety
of works, classic or contemporary, to promote the humanities in their localities.
In addition to Stevens, other scholars from the University at Albany who will
participate in the project include Gary Gossen, Chair of the Anthropology Department;
Classics professor Hans A. Pohlsander; Paul Wallace, also a professor in the Classics
Department, who specializes in ancient history and archaeology; English professor Helen
Elam and Philosophy professor Josiah Gould.
Library program presenters include: Ellin Chu, Young Adult Consultant, Monroe
County Library System (Rochester, NY); Marilee Fogelsong, Coordinator of Young Adult
Services, New York Public Library; Susan Goldberg, formerly Deputy Director of the
Tucson Public Library and Past-President of the Public Library Association of the

Next for Electronic Mail," a discussion’of the National Science Foundation-
sponsored EXPRES project at Carnegie-Mellon and the University of Michigan, which
deals with future approaches to dommentation and correspondence. Dr. John
Seeley Brown, Vice President, Advanced Résearch, Palo Alto Research Center, and
Associate Director, Institute for Research on Learning, will speak on "The Future
of Documents — Their Structure, Their Use: How Active Documents Enhance
Collaborative Creative Work."
The New York State Library is conducting this series of conferences to
address the implications of scientific research affecting knowledge transfer —
investigation, publication, education — in 5 years, 10 years, beyond the year
2000. Research and scholarly comminication will be profoundly changed by what is
taking place now in the world's leading research laboratories, just as our 1989
environment has been profoundly shaped by discoveries of the 1960s and 1970s.
The laboratory investigations of 20 years ago — in laser phenomena, light-
conducting media, digital data organization and transmission, ceramic properties,
to name just a few areas — now surround us in the technology of fiber optic
networks, satellite communications, packet switching, microminiaturization, and
other transformations of the methods and environment of our work. Current
research will similarly alter the future in significant ways. —~
This series will help prepare those who will be responsible for working
with, and guiding, that future by acquainting them with major new scientific
directions. The public sessions are intended for a wide audience of
professionals concerned with education, research, information processing,
governance and quality control of scholarship, institutional facilities planning
and other services associated with the generation and exchange of knowledge.
Commissioner Sobol noted that, "This series is designed to provide an
opportunity to think beyond current experience, through the realm of what might
be, and to plan for an extended range of technological possibilities. The series
will expand conceptual horizons to enable participants to consider innovative
prototypes, research results and potential results in the management of their
institutions, and in their plans for new facilities and services."
The series led off with "Frontiers in Materials Science" on September 15,
1987, continuing with "Advanced Concepts in Computing" on February 2, 1988, and
"The Infrastructure of the Future on May 6, 1988.
The conference is open to public administrators, educators, information
professionals, researchers, and others whose common bond is the use or support of
information for research. The program will. begin at 1:30 p.m. in the Auditorium
of the Cultural Education Center, Empire State Plaza, Albany.
No preregistration is required. For additional information, write:

IBM Donates Ion Implantation System to University at Albany
IBM Corporation has donated to the University at Albany an ion implantation system
valued at $1 million that will play a valuable role in Albany’s highly regarded
materials physics program. The system, formally known as the Model 1!UDH MeV Ion
Implanter, is made by National Electrostatics Corporation.
Modern electronic devices (from digital watches to large computers) could not be
made without ion implantation, a technique in which impurity atoms are carefully
introduced into critical areas of the device. While low energy ion implantation has
been used for about 20 years, it is only in the last few years that high energy (MeV)
implantation has been used commercially. The University intends to use this machine
to study the basic science associated with MeV ion implantation.
The five-year-old machine cost $2.4 million when new. IBM’s gift to Albany
includes the implanter, now valued at $750,000, and $250,000 in unused spare parts.
In accepting the machine for the University, President Vincent O’Leary said:
"This system is a major addition to our research facilities. Our materials scientists
are enthusiastic and plan to put it to work immediately on a variety of
investigations. We are most grateful for IBM’s generosity and confidence in the
University." :
"This gift is part of IBM’s effort to support and encourage research in
universities and collaboration between universities and industry. The University at
Albany’s well-known research efforts in both ion beams and defect science make ita
natural location for such a facility," says James F. Ziegler, manager of the ion beam
group at IBM's Watson Research Laboratory i in Yorktown Heights, N.Y.
MeV implantation is so new that, as yet, there is no comparable facility at any
other North American university.
IBM Sa i Page 2
"This is one of those must instruments for a materials science program," said
Nelson Cue, chair of the University’s Department of Physics. "With a price tag of
$2.4 million when new, however, the system was beyond our financial means. IBM’s gift
is a great opportunity for us."
The system consists of two main components, a 1.2-million-volt tandem accelerator
and a specially designed ion implantation end station. "This machine carefully
controls the environment and produces extremely pure ion beams, which, in turn,
permits high quality ion implantation," says William Lanford, a professor in the
University’s Physics Department.
Despite recognized advantages, large-scale applications of MeV implantation have
been held back because of incomplete understanding of the defects produced during
implantation and of how to remove these defects. That problem is just one of many
that Albany’s Department of Physics expects to tackle with the new machine. Playing a
major role in that and related research projects will be University physicists James
Corbett, a world expert on impurity and defects in semiconductors, and Walter Gibson,
a pioneer in ion implantation research.
"The tandem accelerator is an extremely important component in its own right,"
says Lanford. "In time, we hope to attach more experimental stations to it, thus
expanding our range of research opportunities." The new accelerator will complement
the University’s existing 4.5 MV Dynamitron accelerator (used principally for
analysis) and its 150 kV low energy implanter. .
The machine will be installed shortly in the basement of the University’s physics
building. Its previous home was IBM’s facility in Burlington, Vt., where it was used
to improve the reliability of high-density semiconductor memory chips.

Programs Treat Schoolchildren Troubled by Anxieties
The Center for Stress and Anxiety Disorders of the University at Albany offers two
programs for schoolchildren ages 6 to 16 who are experiencing difficulties with fear
and anxieties.
One program treats children who are afraid to attend classes. The other treats
children who suffer from such general anxieties and phobias as fear of darkness, loud
noises, crowds, dogs, etc. Both programs are headed by psychologist Wendy Silverman.
School phobias may result from a fear of teachers, other children, tests,
speaking before a class, or may be rooted in family problems. Children who have been
chronically absent from school for a year or more are not eligible for treatment.
For more information, call Christopher Kearney or Dr. Silverman at 456-4127.

Two Albany Professors Named Distinguished Teaching Professors
Two University at Albany professors have been promoted to the rank of Distinguished
Teaching Professor by the State University of New York Board of Trustees. Eugene K.
Garber, a professor of English, and Bruce B. Marsh, a professor of physics, are the
eighth and ninth members of the Albany faculty to receive the distinction.
Garber is a leading scholar in composition theory and pedagogy and a leading
national figure in "writing across the disciplines," the effort to revolutionize the
teaching of writing at American universities. Marsh played a leadership role in
developing courses in the Department of Physics and in physics education research.
In nominating Garber for the rank, University at Albany President Vincent O’Leary
said, "He is an accomplished writer and active scholar, a caring citizen of the
University and, most important, a dedicated and accomplished teacher."
Since his arrival at Albany in 1977, Garber has taught an extraordinarily wide
-more-
page 2
array of graduate and undergraduate courses and seminars, and his teaching dedication was
recognized in 1982 when he received the Presidential Award for Excellence in Graduate
Teaching. He served for ten years as the director of the Capital District Writing
Project, a site of the National Writing Project.
From 1978 to 1981, Garber chaired a special committee on the University’s
education. That committee transformed the University’s undergraduate curriculum
requirements. His service to the profession earned him the Creative Artist Public Service
Award for New York State in 1984.
In addition to his teaching excellence and dedication, Garber is a first class
fiction writer, specializing in short stories. His major book, Metaphysical Tales, won
the Associated Writing Program’s 1981 prize for short fiction. His short stories have
been published in the world’s most prestigious literary magazines, including The Ohio
Review, The Paris Review, The Denver Quarterly, and the Kenyon Review, In 1974 and 1977
Garber’s short stories, "The Father" and "The Lover" were anthologized in the series,
The Best American Short Stories. And "The Poets" was anthologized in the Norton
Anthology of Contemporary Fiction. In 1988, "The Gallant" won the Kansas Arts Commission
Fiction Award, judged by John Gardner. His work in progress is a novel, Resurrection.
Garber is an alumnus of Tulane University, where he earned a B.A. in English and
Latin, and of the University of Iowa, where he earned a Ph.D. in English and Creative
Writing.
ee
Bruce Marsh "is a dedicated teacher who has broken much new ground in developing
pedagogical techniques and materials throughout his career," said O’Leary. Marsh is an
Albany alumnus who has taught at the University since 1962.
The founder of the Capital Area Physics Teachers Association, Marsh has been a key
player in bringing physics teachers on different SUNY campuses together to collaborate on
-more-
page 3
teaching strategies. Since focusing his research on particle-solid interactions in 1980,
Garber has co-authored 19 publications in physics journals.
His most recent discovery is a new microanalysis technique called Charge Collection
Ion Microscopy (CCIM), which utilizes the unique features of the University’s ion
microbeam facility. CCIM has the potential for pinpointing the location and identifying
the type of microscopic defects in any diode part of a semiconductor device. With the
increasing complexities of fabricating Very Large and Ultra Large Scale Integrated (VLSI
and ULSI) chips, there will be tremendous cost savings if the defects are detected and
eliminated at each fabrication stage. A patent application is under review and a journal
publication on CCIM is being prepared.
Marsh is a member of the American Physical Society, American Association of Physics
Teachers and Sigma Xi. He earned a Bachelor of Science at the University at Albany and a
Ph.D. in Physics at the University of Rochester.
RE
The award honors outstanding teachers who have attained the rank of professor and have
had at least three years of full-time regular teaching at the undergraduate, graduate and
professional levels. This is the 17th year the distinction has been awarded, and the
naming of Garber and Marsh brings the total number of Distinguished Teaching Professors
to 85 statewide.

TEACHERS, LIBRARIANS TO EMBARK ON HOMER'S 'ODYSSEY' FOR TEENS
Librarians and other school personnel from around the state will be embarking on an
unusual journey which educators hope will result in a greater awareness of the humanities
among New York's teenagers.
The 18-month undertaking, entitled "A Learning Odyssey," will show participants how
the disciplines of anthropology, classics, history, literature and philosophy can be used to
develop public library programs to enhance understanding of various works for 14- to
17-year-old students. The new program is funded by a $148,600 grant from the National
Endowment for the Humanities and matching funds and in-kind services of $287,000 from
the University at Albany, the New York State Library and other state as well as private
sources.
Forty community teams from urban, suburban and rural regions of the state will be
recruited this spring and summer to participate. Each team will have up to five people,
including school library media specialists and public librarians, humanities teachers and
school administrators. Using "The Odyssey" as the sample work for the project, team
members will read Homer's epic poem, keeping the multi-disciplined approach in mind and
considering contemporary parallels in movies, plays and music.
"Young adults will respond to great literature that is made relevant to their world,"
and Gregory I. Stevens, Assistant Dean of the College of Humanities and Fine Arts at the
University at Albany and project director of the university/library cooperative venture.
"We are using ‘The Odyssey’ as an example to show that even the most ancient of stories
can illustrate the vitality of what the humanities can offer today."
After independent study this spring and summer, the teams will gather in New Paltz
October 18-20 for a two-day workshop. Scholars from the University at Albany will each
interpret "The Odyssey" to show how various disciplines bring their own perspectives to a
particular work. Outstanding Young Adult Librarians will then conduct workshops to help
participants identify how humanities programming can be made more appealing to
teenagers.
The partnership of school and public librarians is an essential ingredient to successful
library programming for teens, according to Roberta G. Cade, Director of the New York
State Library's Division for Library Development. The 'Learning Odyssey’ will encourage
educational partnerships to reach more young people with lively, relevant programs.
To make sure that the program's work is implemented, the teams will convene in
regional mini-workshops at a future date to give progress reports and share successful
methods of developing humanities programming. The teams are expected to use a variety
of works, classic or contemporary, to promote the humanities in their localities.
In addition to Stevens, other scholars from the University at Albany who will
participate in the project include Gary Gossen, Chair of the Anthropology Department;
Classics professor Hans A. Pohlsander; Paul Wallace, also a professor in the Classics
Department, who specializes in ancient history and archaeology; English professor Helen
Elam and Philosophy professor Josiah Gould.
Library program presenters include: Ellin Chu, Young Adult Consultant, Monroe
County Library System (Rochester, NY); Marilee Fogelsong, Coordinator of Young Adult
Services, New York Public Library; Susan Goldberg, formerly Deputy Director of the
Tucson Public Library and Past-President of the Public Library Association of the
American Library Association; and Susan Madden, Coordinator of Young Adult Services,
King County Library System (Seattle, WA) and President of the Young Adult Services
Division of the American Library Association.
