Many internationally recognized librarians shared their experiences and expressed their ideas on new developments and possibilities related to the information superhighway. The 34 papers presented at the symposium addressed the following issues:(1) definition, applications, cost, security, privacy, access, delivery, and ease of use;(2) strategies and tactics for accessing information . on the superhighway, as well as concern for unauthorized use; (3) tremendous amounts of irrelevant information, and who will regulate the superhighway;(4) librarians and Internet developer cooperation in developing user-oriented services on the Internet;(5) electronic publishing of academic research;(6) provision of access to users in tt.e third world;(7) cyberspace as a process of virtualization, and the resultant virtual electronic library; (8) librarians should not only give access to electronic information, but also adapt their organizations to achieve full functionality of new developments; (9) col'aboration among research centers, administrative groups and operational, informational, and resource staff in libraries and information systems is vital;(10) the impact of technology on academic libraries has resulted in increased access to resources in electronic form, calling for additional staff training;(11) the develo-sent of electronic resources has been so rapid that many information professionals have been left behind; (12) lack of information quality control, and increased forms of access require librarians to enhance resource selection activities; (13) access to resources no longer needs to be intervened by trained professionals, and the future role of the librarian is uncertain; (14) making electronic resources Internet accessible is a concern;(15) a discussion of projects involving scanning tables of contents of scientific journals to be accessed online;(16) libraries have to adapt their organization and management to achieve full functionality of new developments; and (17) implications and possible impact of distributed client-server computing to potentially facilitate use of the Internet as a global information resource which may be searched in its own right. The symposium agenda, list of participants, and list of participating vendors is also provided. Many papers contain references.

  • The Candidates
    The Candidates Family Background Bush Gore Career Highlights Bush Gore Personality and Character Bush Gore Political Communication Lab., Stanford University Family Background USA Today June 15, 2000; Page 1A Not in Their Fathers' Images Bush, Gore Apply Lessons Learned From Losses By SUSAN PAGE WASHINGTON -- George W. Bush and Al Gore share a reverence for their famous fathers, one a former president who led the Gulf War, the other a three-term Southern senator who fought for civil rights and against the Vietnam War. The presidential candidates share something else: a determination to avoid missteps that brought both fathers repudiation at the polls in their final elections. The younger Bush's insistence on relying on a trio of longtime and intensely loyal aides -- despite grumbling by GOP insiders that the group is too insular -- reflects his outrage at what he saw as disloyalty during President Bush's re-election campaign in 1992. He complained that high- powered staffers were putting their own agendas first, friends and associates say. Some of those close to the younger Gore trace his willingness to go on the attack to lessons he learned from the above-the-fray stance that his father took in 1970. Then-senator Albert Gore Sr., D-Tenn., refused to dignify what he saw as scurrilous attacks on his character with a response. The approach of Father's Day on Sunday underscores the historic nature of this campaign, as two sons of accomplished politicians face one Political Communication Lab., Stanford University another. Their contest reveals not only the candidates' personalities and priorities but also the influences of watching their famous fathers, both in victory and in defeat.
