   11:30-12:30 Monday, October 17 

   Living with Google
   Google is moving aggressively into the domain of libraries. Today, it is
   impossible to say if this will be wonderful, awful, or both. Pundits
   disagree! Dale Flecker, Associate Director for Planning and Systems for
   the Harvard Libraries, reviews current Google developments, describes the
   project to digitize massive quantities of materials from a number of
   research libraries, and speculates on possible implications of having
   Google as a major part of our library environment.

    

   1:30-3:00 Monday, October 17

   Inventing the 21st Century Library of Congress
   Changes in information transmission are having a major impact on the
   Library of Congress. Robert Dizard, Deputy Associate Librarian for Library
   Services, describes the library's work in forging its own transformation,
   largely in response to technology, to ensure that it continues to fulfill
   its mission of service to Congress and to scholars, and increasingly, to
   the general public. The business meeting for sponsoring NETSL section is
   included.

    

   8:45-10:00 Tuesday, October 18

   E-Resource Management Systems: From Vision to Reality
   Digital Library Federation Electronic Resource Management Initiative (DLF
   ERMI) is a project to develop standards and best practices for electronic
   resource management in libraries. Following an overview by Ivy Anderson
   from Harvard University Library, Ellen Finnie Duranceau of MIT describes
   her library's experience in working as a co-developing partner and then
   evaluating whether to implement an e-resource management system based on
   DLF standards.
