THE FUTURE OF THE BOOK: DEAD OR ALIVE?


How will information be stored and accessed? Join a discussion with
panelists from both sides of publishing's digital divide to address the
meaning of books, publishers and libraries in an age when anything and
everything, from information to precious memories, can be shrunk to
bytes and stored electronically. Will old-time publishing survive? What
does it mean today that anyone can be their own publisher? Will digital
archiving keep our information intact? 

5:30 p.m., Reception | 6:00 p.m., Program | Club office, 595 Market St.,
2nd Floor, San Francisco | Free for Members, $15 for Non-Members |
Directions <http://commonwealthclub.org/directions.html>  to The Club.
Program Organizer: Kevin O'Malley
Co-sponsored by TechTalk/Studio.
