In his 1945 article "As We May Think", Vannevar Bush envisioned how his
"Memex" would revolutionize scholarly work in the future. Scholars would
have all the resources needed for research at their finger tips, on one
integrated workstation. Modern technology is now allowing his vision to be
realized. Program speakers will describe how librarians are redefining the
scholar's workstation, with Internet resources, databases on LANs, WANs,
and individual PCs, and a variety of software applications.
