                       *** MAKE CONNECTIONS: ***
                    The Role of the Public Library
                        in Community Networking
              ------------------------------------------

Join Apple Computer's Steve Cisler on an exploration of the public
library's role in the community networks that are springing up
throughout the country.  We can play a leading role in establishing and
adding value to these networks **or** we can miss a unique service
opportunity by being uninvolved bystanders.

By participating in this workshop you will:

  * Hear from national experts on community networking

  * Learn from public librarians who are on the cutting edge of these
  developments

  * Take part in break-out sessions for both novices and experienced
  networkers

In addition, hands-on demonstrations will allow you to experience what
other public librarians are already doing to stake out a future that is
WIRED, not TIRED!


TARGET AUDIENCE: Public librarians and trustees
