ANNOUNCEMENT
BEYOND THE LIBRARY
A One-Day Colloquium
Organised by the Humanities Computing Unit, University of Oxford
16 May 1997,
Habbakuk Room, Jesus College, Oxford
How are the new technologies changing the roles of libraries of
librarians? How do we cater for the ever changing needs of the users? How
do we design the library of the future? What exactly is meant by the
"digital library"?
Following on from last year's 'Beyond the Classroom' this one-day
colloquium will address these and similar questions. Our aim is to bring
together both practitioners and visionaries in an attempt to tackle both
the practical and the theoretical implications of using the new
technologies in the library. Digital technologies are already being
enthusiastically applied in such areas as archiving, cataloguing, and
expanding the holdings of a library. They seem to offer unique advantages
and opportunities. However, the organisational implications of this rush
to "be digital" are often overlooked.
The day will consist of formal presentations, with ample time for discussion,
which we hope will be lively and stimulating. Speakers will include:
Andrew McDonald, University of Sunderland
Frances Hendrix, London and South Eastern Library Region
Phil Sykes, John Moores University
Anne Ramsden, De Montfort University
Plus two others (tba)
Cost: The day will cost #35.00 for academics, #100.00 for non-academics. This
includes tea and coffee, but lunch will not be provided. Please book early as
spaces are limited. [A small number of free places will be available for
members of Oxford University]. Cheques should be made payable to 'Oxford
University Computing Services' and sent to the organisors below.
