Abstract: | the problem session.
It seems clear that data processing has already affected many
libraries and is likely to affect many more in the near future. The
university and special libraries have been among the first to become
involved, and usually at the computer level; school and public libraries
are beginning to be involved, and usually at the level of
punched cards. But involvement is only a first step along the road
to successful operation of effective systems of data processing; to
travel this road, librarians need to learn many new things.
In this process of successful application to libraries of data
processing, the University of Illinois Graduate School of Library
Science seeks to make a contribution by way of this annual conference
or Clinic. The focus of the meeting is on the reporting of actual experience
in case history form. We seek promising and fruitful experience
(e.g., PLATO's use of a console -computer hook-up) and not
necessarily successful experience alone; for surely we can learn
much from mistakes and failures too. |
