Subject: [CNI-ANNOUNCE] Recordings from Future of Research Library Conf, UT
Austin, 9/11-12

Last month I had the opportunity to attend an invitational conference 
on the future of the research library hosted by the University of 
Texas at Austin. Audio files (including my talk) are now available at

http://www.lib.utexas.edu/symposium/

and I am told that transcripts will be available on the same site in 
the next few weeks.

There's a wealth of interesting material here, in particular Jim 
Duderstadt's presentation.

The US National Library of Medicine does a fabulous job of mobilizing good
thinkers to contribute to its ongoing long-term planning process. I had the
good fortune to be able to participate in part of this process, and learned
a great deal from it. The report from the planning effort is now available
at

http://www.nlm.nih.gov/pubs/plan/lrp06/lrp06_home.html

and is well worth reading. It addresses interactions between information
technology, biomedical research, large-scale social trends, and the evolving
role of the National Library of Medicine.

There's a thought-provoking report from our friends in Denmark that's now
available in english exploring user perspectives on the hybrid library. You
can find it at:

Birte Chirstensen-Dalsgaard has kindly agreed to do a breakout session at
the December CNI meeting in Washington that will include a discussion of
this report.
