Title:  Challenging the Assumptions of Legacy Librarianship

Date and time: June 6, 2008, 9:30am - 11:30am

This webinar will last approximately two hours. There is no charge for this
Infopeople webinar.  Pre-registration is not required.

Intrepid presenters Joan Frye Williams and George Needham have agreed to
make one more attempt to deliver an extended version of their recent PLA
program: "Challenging the Assumptions of Legacy Librarianship." You may
remember that their April 4 live webcast of this material was scuttled by
technical difficulties. Bandwidth was compromised by the crash of one of the
regional Internet 2 nodes - something even Infopeople couldn't remedy! 

George and Joan gamely stayed on in the studio on April 4 and recorded a
truncated version of their webcast for posting on the Infopeople archive.
However, we've decided that it would be worth bringing them back for a live
presentation of the full content, with an opportunity for listener questions
and answers. To be on the safe side, they'll be doing this as a webinar, a
format less subject to the vagaries of Internet traffic. 

Don't miss this opportunity to interact with two of our liveliest library
commentators. Join George and Joan on Friday, June 6. 

Speakers:  Joan Frye Williams and George Needham.
