FYI -----Original Message----- From: Naomi DiTullio [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 01, 2007 9:53 AM To: Naomi DiTullio Subject: Relevance of Libraries in a Digital Age free teleconference & webcast May 11 The Texas State Library invites ALL Texas library staff/volunteers/affiliates to the following free continuing education event -- THE RELEVANCE OF LIBRARIES IN A DIGITAL AGE BROADCAST DATE AND TIME: Friday, May 11, 2007, 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Central Time PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: James G. Neal, the Vice President for Information Services and University Librarian will assemble a panel to discuss the future relevance of libraries as we know them. The digital age has been with us long enough to make some practical predictions of how traditional roles of libraries will change in information selection, acquisition, synthesis, navigation, dissemination, interpretation and archiving. New responsibilities in information aggregation, publishing education, research and development and policy advocacy will be explored. It promises to be a lively and provocative session.
