Want a long-range preview of the technologies that are headed our way? For 
those of us who don't work in the rarefied atmosphere of research and 
development, it can be difficult to separate the promise from the hype. 
Large library organizations OCLC, RLG, UC, MIT, and others are 
experimenting today with technologies that may someday show up at your 
library's door. What are these leading edge technologies? What can they do? 
Why are they important to you? And what should you be thinking about now so 
that you're ready when they get here?
By participating in this webcast you'll get a tantalizing glimpse into the 
technological blue sky, and early warning about changes that may someday 
rock your library world. In addition, you'll gain practical insight into 
how those in the know examine any new technology to assess its possible 
impact.
This webcast will be presented by Roy Tennant, one of only a handful of 
librarians who predicted the impact of the Internet on libraries. (Crossing 
the Internet Threshold, 1992). Find out what exciting new technologies Roy 
is following now, and how they're likely to make a difference to libraries 
of all types in the years to come.

Speaker:  Roy Tennant
