9:00 a.m. – 9:45 a.m. Victor McCrary, National Institute of Standards and Technology What is the current state of e-books today? What are we likely to see in the future? What are the implications for public, academic, school, as well as corporate and government libraries? Hear from one of the world’s leaders about the future of this technology and get some insights as to what our library strategies should include for the future.
9:00 a.m. – 9:45 a.m. Lisa Mitnick, Senior VP, Legal & Tax Solutions, LexisNexis The value of customization and personalized delivery in reducing the information glut in today’s crowded content-rich world is key for all information services. Hear about key strategies and technologies that are supporting our libraries including information/knowledge audits, portable indexing, customized user interfaces, as well as real world applications shared by leading information professionals.
9:00 a.m. – 9:45 a.m. Roy Tennant, Web & Services Design Manager, E-Scholarship Initiative, California Digital Library Rich Wiggins, Senior Information Technologist, Computer Laboratory, Michigan State University, & Author/Lecturer, Netfact.com Many people assume that the entire monographic holdings of the Library of Congress and other large, and important collections, will soon be available online. Tennant and Wiggins provide a thought-provoking debate on the possibility and desirability of making that a reality. Can we truly digitize millions of books? Should we? The issues discussed are not that different from those that face any library needing to make tough decisions about digitizing material. Come hear what these two friendly, but feisty, colleagues have to say about it.
7:30 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. Moderator: D. Scott Brandt, Purdue University Panelists: Lisa Peterson, Senior Intranet Developer, South Florida Sun-Sentinel\ Darlene Fichter, University of Saskatchewan & Northern Lights Internet Solutions Nancy Nelson, Library Director, Berkeley College Stephen Abram, IHS Micromedia Limited Firmly in the knowledge age, organizations and communities are striving to become learning organizations and centers, and librarians are even more critical to the transfer of knowledge in these learning environments. Our popular “dead technology” session focuses this year on those technologies that will, and will not, allow us to transfer knowledge to our clients in easy, cost-effective, and relevant ways. This session features some new views as well as some of our long-term Computers in Libraries experts, pioneers, and practitioners. It is free and open to all registrants, exhibitors, and exhibit visitors. Come and hear our panel’s predictions of future-challenged technologies as they praise and condemn available and emerging technologies.
7:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. Jerri Knihnicki, Chief, research & Information Services, Pentagon Library Dean McKinney, BMS Catastrophe, Inc. Robert E. Schnare, Library Director, Naval War College What would you do if the landing gear of a 757 landed in your reference section? We can’t plan for everything, but we can learn from others! Join us for an awesome evening with courageous, determined, and dedicated librarians whose long-term plans took a definite detour on September 11, 2001. Hear about their recovery efforts, the lessons they want to pass along to other librarians making plans for the future, and be totally inspired by their commitment. Sponsored by
