Integrated Online Library Systems '96

Expanding Access
via the Library

May 15-16, 1996

It is truly appropriate that a conference on integrated library systems be held in conjunction with the National Online Meeting, since both library systems and electronic database services share the same objective--serving the user with a full and integrated array of information services.

For the eighth year in a row, the Conference on Integrated Online Library Systems (IOLS) will be a "conference within a conference" at the National Online Meeting. IOLS '96 will take place on May 15 and 16, 1996 and will consist of plenary sessions, technical papers, workshops, and product reviews from leading system providers. This year's conference theme is "Expanding Access via the Library." A complete list of program offerings is contained in this program. A proceedings of the papers presented at IOLS '96 will be published separately from the National Online Meeting proceedings and will be available at the conference for attendees to take home.

Library Systems Showcase

A section of the exhibit hall for the National Online Meeting has been specially set aside for exhibitors with products and services in the field of library systems. Called "Library Systems Showcase," this exhibit provides attendees with the opportunity to receive hands-on demonstrations of the latest library technology and services. Having so many systems in one place allows for side-by-side comparisons, leading to more informed purchasing decisions.
