| Featuring internet guru Gary Price, co-author of The Invisible Web and the
compiler/editor of the Resourceshelf (http://www.resourceshelf.com).
Price will speak at our annual meeting on three main topics, with Q&A sessions in between.
Gary's presentations have always drawn great interest and we are especially
pleased that he found time in his busy schedule to come to the Bay Area. |

| Web Search Engine Update: |
What's going on with Google
(which could be a public company by the time of the meeting),
Yahoo's new database, issues of privacy and corporate censorship. In addition, Gary has a business arrangement with a service called "Muse" which
offers a service for libraries to have a single point of searching for all the
library's databases, plus Google or other free sources as well, de-duping the
results and working with the commercial databases and library' authentication system. |
|
| "When does Gary Sleep?" |
Current awareness services and alerts tools.
Gary will talk about the various services, sources and strategies for staying
on top of the most exciting recent developments. |
|
| The Future is Today: |
What's new and note-worthy. For example, searching
multi-media (searching by words spoken that leads to a video clip containing
the passage searched.) He will tell us about voice-recognition software in the making of these databases. |
