The Berglund Center at Pacific University facilitates both theoretical discussion and practical action relating to the impact of the Internet upon individuals and their communities worldwide. We study the effects of the Internet on the ways we work, communicate, teach, and learn. The Berglund Center for Internet Studies was endowed by a generous gift from Pacific University alumni Drs. Mary and James Berglund of La Jolla, California.

We are excited at the Berglund Center at Pacific University to present our first biennial Summer Institute on the topic, "The Wisdom and the Madness of Crowds." We have selected a group of experts to explore this topic and others who will lead and stimulate discussions. We believe that anyone who uses the Internet or works with it will find the conference stimulating, useful, and enjoyable. Please view the conference website at http://bcis.pacificu.edu/summerinstitute/2008/ for additional details.
