Proceedings of Military Librarians Workshop (23rd) Held at Alexandria, Virginia, on 3-5 October 1979. Military Special Libraries in 1990
Abstract
The theme of the 23rd Annual Military Librarians Workshop--held in Alexandria, VA and sponsored by the Defense Technical Information Center (Formerly Defense Documentation Center)--was Military Special Libraries in 1990. More than 150 military librarians participated in six individual task groups, consisting of a number of general sessions, highlighted by well-known speakers in the information industry. The respective discussion topics assigned to these groups were Contracting Out Library Services, Closing the Card Catalog, New Products and Services, Managing Libraries, Steady-State (No Growth) Libraries, and Basic Planning for Library Automation. The workshop general sessions, consisting of lecture presentations followed by questions and informal discussions, were interspersed in the program with task group meetings. Each task group had a full schedule of speakers on its specific topic to assist group members to define and propose solutions to future problems likely to confront military special librarians in the 1990's. Emphasis was placed on the impact of new technology on the changing role of the Library, its relationship to future user needs, and library management in the probable work situation in the 1990s. The ability of librarians and, more importantly, of users to cope with the changes foreseen was a major interest. The workshop concluded with task group summaries presented by the group leaders.
