GSLIS Room 126

Description

Lorcan Dempsey, Vice President and Chief Strategist for OCLC Online Computer Library Center, will deliver the Spring 2007 Phineas L. Windsor Lecture titled "The Network Rewrites the Library."

This presentation will consider two issues which arise from this. First, how the library reconfigures place, collections, expertise, and systems/service. Once collocated and vertically integrated, these come apart on the network and present different challenges. Second, how the library reconfigures its collective presence. Once collaboration was at the margin; increasingly it becomes more central as efficiencies push activities to the network level.

A reception will follow the lecture.

The lecture will be live broadcast at http://courses.lis.uiuc.edu/mod/gslisircchat/view.php?id=2315. A copy of the broadcast will be archived at: http://www.lis.uiuc.edu/news/lectures.html.
