   NEWS RELEASE    RMG Consultants, Inc.  14 November 2000

     "INDUSTRY LEADERS GIVE THEIR BEST ADVICE TO LIBRARIES IN
                   THESE CHANGING TIMES"
                      is the topic of

   RMG's Eleventh Annual Presidents' Seminar: The View from
                          the Top

      (At a location to be announced once assigned by ALA)

What  advice do  the presidents of leading companies  in  four
library  industry  sectors have for  libraries  in
these changing times?

The  panel  for RMG's Eleventh Annual Presidents'  Seminar
includes the presidents  of  companies
from the following library industry sectors:

       *    Library automation vendors
       *    E-Book companies
       *    Database providers
       *    Book distributors

Top  executives  of  leading companies  in  these  four
library  industry  segments  are  asked  in  this  free
seminar to share their thoughts and best advice to
libraries in these changing times.

What will these leaders

       *   Identify as libraries' greatest threats
          and opportunities in this post-election  year?

       *   Say about the potential impact of e-content on
          traditional library  collection development and
          spending practices?

       *   Tell us will be the hottest new technologies
          impacting libraries in 2001?

          What will they advise libraries to do
          about them?

       *   Identify as the forces of greatest change from
          outside the library industry?

          And what will they say about the needed
          reactions of their companies and libraries
          in this precious little global library
          industry of ours?

The  ground  rules  for panelists  are  to  keep  their
discussions  of libraries and the library  industry  in
the  21st  Century  at professional  and  industry-wide
levels  -- but not to make sales pitches or to  promote
their companies or products.

Companies  from  throughout the  Library  Industry  are
invited  to attend as members of the audience,  to  add
their questions and comments to those of the panelists.

Convened  by  Rob  McGee, President,  RMG  Consultants,
Inc.,  this  free seminar annually focuses the  library
community  on  topics  of  significance.  This   unique
industry  forum  for the exchange of ideas  on  leading
edge  developments is RMG's way of thanking  librarians
and companies whose energy and passion lead the library
industry.

Registration  is not required. For further  information
contact:  Odette Alleyne in the Chicago Office  of  RMG
Consultants,  Inc.,  312/321-0432  or  via   email   at
