WILSWorld 2000 Library Tech Conference

[Tom Zillner]

(Please excuse duplicate postings.)

Hi All,

I posted an announcement for WILSWorld 2000 about a month
ago, and we have been gratified by the response.  However,
a fair number of spaces still remain.  Also, to answer one
frequently-asked question: you need not be a member of
WILS to attend this conference for the $100 fee.  The
original announcement appears below:

I'm pleased to announce WILSWorld 2000, to be held in
Madison, Wisconsin on the UW-Madison campus July 24-25. 
(See our Web page at http://www.wils.wisc.edu/events/ww2k/) 
A highlight of this year's conference will be our keynote
presentation by Roy Tennant, entitled "Libraries and
Librarians for the New Millennium".  In addition to his
keynote, Roy will present a session on Virtual Reference.

Another highlight in terms of nationally-known speakers is 
Eric Lease Morgan, creator of MyLibrary.  Eric will present 
two sessions at WILSWorld, discussing MyLibrary from both a 
technical and philosophical viewpoint.

Jerilyn Veldof of the University of Minnesota Libraries 
opens our second day with a plenary session entitled
"Building User-Centered Library Web Sites on a Shoestring". 

I don't want to slight our Wisconsin speakers, all
outstanding contributors who will discuss such "hot"
topics as digitization, digital libraries, CORC,
Clio,NetLibrary and e-books, and
Identification/Authentication/Authorization.

At $100 for the entire conference, this is truly a bargain. 
If you will be near Madison this summer, stop by.  At this 
low cost and with our outstanding roster of speakers, it's 
also worth a special trip.

Again, you can find all of the details at 
http://www.wils.wisc.edu/events/ww2k/  If you have 
questions or special needs feel free to contact me by 
e-mail or telephone.  See you at WILSWorld 2000, truly a 
topical paradise!

Cheers,
