Libraries; Stanley Wilder, University Librarian at the University of
North Carolina, Charlotte; and Susan Searing, Interim Associate
University Librarian for User Services/Associate Dean of Libraries,
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, who are well-versed in the
kinds of problems libraries face, will establish a framework for
discussion and will create the stage for audience participation in the
exploration of problems and solutions.
