We are pleased to
present the 20th annual Computers in Libraries

conference and exhibition on all aspects of library
& information delivery technology. Although
the tools and technology available to libraries

years, the excellent quality and range of both
topics and speakers at Computers in Libraries
2005 remain the same.

Firmly in the knowledge age, organizations and communities
are striving to become learning organizations and
centers, and librarians are extending their reach
and becoming more critical to the transfer. 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.
