Dear all
In connection with this Lis-linkers may wish to note that on November
9th 2006 the Library and Information History Group of CILIP is running a
one day conference at Ridgmount St. entitled:
'The road to Bangor: or forty years of library automation and where is
it taking us?
It will review the origins and development of library automation in the
UK and will include both witness presentations by those involved and
also presentations by expert academic commentators. It will address
issues mentioned below.
Full details will appear early next month.
Best wishes

The British Computer Society is celebrating its fiftieth birthday next
year, small stuff in comparison with the Library Association, but I am
involved in putting together something.
If I think back to holorith cards, and edge notched cards, card
catalogues, and then the internet and google, it seems to me there has
been pain as well as gain, and that we could usefully work out which is
which.
If anyone else is involved in planning something, or even if anyone else
is a member, and wants to do something, or even faintly interested,
please let me know.
