The ACRL Discussion Group on Electronic Library Development in Academic
Libraries invites all to join us for a presentation and discussion
about networked information retrieval at the ALA Annual Conference in
San Francisco:
COPING WITH INFORMATION POLLUTION -
NETWORKED INFORMATION TOOLS
This talk will briefly outline some of the current problems with
networked information retrieval. We will look at some applications
that will enable us to cope with the growing terabytes
(million-millions of bytes). Major focus of the tools will be on the
Wide Area Information Server (WAIS) which represents a new paradigm in
electronic publishing.
