WEB ACCESS TO DATABASES
Sat., June 28th 9:30 - 11:30 am
Holiday Inn Union Square in the Union Square North Room
One of the challenges facing libraries today is to access a growing
number of distributed databases seamlessly in a networked environment.
The LITA Internet Resources IG will explore these issues by presenting
a panel presentation discussion: "Web Access to Databases: Technical
Possibilities and The Impact on Library Services," at ALA 9:30-11:30
am on June 28th.
Six speakers will be presenting: Marilyn Geller, Internet Services
Manager from Readmore; Jay Trolley, Director of Corporate
Communications from Institute for Scientific Information; Cindy
Edgington, Director of Product Management and Strategic Direction from
the Endeavor Information System; Karen Schneider, Director of the
Region 2 (NY) EPA Library; Keith Morgan, Client Services Librarian for
Networked Resources, and Steve Backs, Reference Librarian, both from
North Carolina State University Libraries.
Vendors will demonstrate seamless database navigation products,
discuss future trends, and explore the impacts on library services.
Librarians will present innovative approaches they use in their
libraries for managing the library's networked resources and services
via the Web.
If you are interested in seeing state-of-the-art Web technology and
you are curious about the technological possibilities for the future
and their impact on libraries, you won't want to miss this panel
discussion.
There will be a meeting of the LITA Internet Resources Interest Group
directly following the program from 11:30-12:30. Everyone is welcome
to attend. Please bring ideas future topics and possible speakers.
