The University of Kansas International Business Resource Center is conducting a seminar to help Kansas companies market their products internationally on the Internet.
"There are a lot of things that businesses can do to use the Web to their advantage," said Mike O'Donnell, executive director of the IBRC.
"For a lot of business owners that are out there in their 40s, 50s and 60s, it's just a whole new world," O'Donnell said of the Internet.
He said the goal of this weekend's seminar was to help small business owners in Kansas use the Internet to expand trade opportunities.
Along with conducting seminars, the IBRC has developed a Web site, http://www.irbc.bschool.ukans.edu, to help Kansas companies promote their products in a worldwide marketplace.
One of the site's resources is a database of Midwestern companies. People around the world can search the database for information about the companies and the goods and services they provide.
Other resources include links to international news and trade sites.
The primary focus of the IBRC is
"It's been fun learning what we're capable of doing here at the University and matching that up with the needs of the business community," said Todd Kice, Wichita graduate student, who works in the IBRC."

The grant that finances the IBRC will expire at the end of this year, O'Donnell said. He said the IBRC was seeking new funding.
University students might not have the opportunity to work for the IBRC bevel 1998.
"If we can't come up with the bucks, the program goes away," O'Donnell said.

Gene therapy might become prevalent after clinical success

Gene therapy is limited only by the imagination, Russ Middaugh said last night.
Middaugh, distinguished professor of pharmaceutical chemistry, spoke to about 75 students and faculty at the Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union.
Middaugh's lecture, "Do Genes Come True?" was part of the Takeru Higuchi Lecture Series. Middaugh was not paid for the lecture.
The lecture series is an opportunity for distinguished professors to share some of the results of their research.
Susan Hovorka, Topeka graduate student, said she attended the lecture because she had an
interest in gene therapy.
"I thought it was very informative and presented well," Hovorka said. "I now have a more general knowledge of the technology."
Middaugh said gene therapy involved replacing defective genes. The main diseases targeted by gene therapy are cystic fibrosis, muscular dystrophy, sickle-cell disease, familial hypercholesterolemia and hemophilia, he said.
"There are over 3,000 genetic disorders that can also be included," Middaugh said.
Middaugh said in the next century, gene therapy might be used to target blood vessel disease.
"It has worked in clinical trials and is the method of choice for treating patients," Middaugh said.
