"Okerson Speaks on Digital Libraries"


In response to faculty and student requests for expanded 
electronic resources and services, one of the NCSU Libraries' 
top long-range goals is to become a leading digital library.  
This goal envisions a library with new bibliographic, full-text, 
numeric, and multimedia resources; with an electronic course 
reserve system for twenty-four-hour availability of 
materials; and with staff expertise to help faculty use and 
develop multimedia.

On April 25, 1996, Ann Okerson (former director of the Office 
of Scientific and Academic Publishing at the Association of 
Research Libraries) will be on campus to give a talk on "Where 
the Rubber Hits the Road: Building Digital Libraries out of 
Digits."  The event is sponsored by the Scholarly 
Communication Subcommittee of the University Library 
Committee and will be held from 10:30 to 11:30 A.M. in the 
Erdahl-Cloyd Theater of the D. H. Hill Library.  All members of 
the NC State community are welcome to attend.

Refreshments will be available at 10:00 A.M.  No registration 
is required for the event, but please call or e-mail Jinnie Davis 
(ext. 5-2843 or jinnie_davis@ncsu.edu) if you plan to come, so 
we can get an estimate for the coffee break.
