Sponsored by Blackwell Book Services

Professionals outside librarianship can offer much needed insight into
information services required for success in academic libraries today.

librarianship will discuss how they perceive the changing world of
academic information.  Their perspectives on user needs will provide a
thought-provoking context for the assessment of information services in
higher education.

Stephanie Bangert, Assistant Director, Western Association of Schools and
Colleges

John Seely Brown, Chief Scientist, Xerox, and Chief Innovation Officer of
12 Entrepreneuring
