Conference Overview
CIL 2001—
16th Year of Highlighting Libraries & Technology

THREE KEYNOTES & 90 PROGRAMS FOR ONE LOW PRICE!

Will 2001 bring you the Information Odyssey You Want? For a successful odyssey you have to have a vision, a strategy, a direction. Computers in Libraries 2001 is full of examples of creative, working strategies. Ideas for what can be accomplished are many. Join us at Computers in Libraries 2001 and hear from experts, practitioners, and strategists — all from the information industry. With four strong program streams you can participate in the IP Institute, the WebWizards’ Symposium, or learn more about Systems and iContent. The focus is on IP strategies — Internet protocol for information professionals, Intranet tools and case studies, Knowledge Management strategies and real working initiatives, content management, eResources, eRoles, eLearning, models for future systems, wireless strategies for libraries, Web design and management, navigating and searching strategies, and of course, lots and lots of tools.

CIL 2001 brings more than 100 knowledgeable speakers to four simultaneous tracks during the conference, plus three dynamic keynotes, pre- and post-conference workshops, and a Wednesday evening program. It caters to all interests and all levels of knowledge and provides many exciting networking opportunities. Join speakers, authors, and fellow participants in refreshment breaks, informal dinner groups (with sign-ups in the registration area), receptions, and more.

We are pleased to present the 16th annual Computers in Libraries — the most comprehensive North American conference and exhibition on all aspects of library technology.  Although the technology and tools available to libraries may have changed over the years, the excellent quality and range of both topics and speakers at Computers in Libraries 2001 remain the same.
