Seal, University Librarian, Texas Christian University Contributors: Amy Chang, Head of Access Services, Texas Tech University Karen Liston Newsome, Coordinator, Illinois Research and Reference Center, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Billy Barron, Network Services Manager, University of Texas at Dallas Come hear a challenging preconference program that offers an overview of the pressures confronting libraries to redefine basic service in response to changing public expectations in an era of automated remote access to the library's own resources, to regional consortial resources, and to broader Internet resources. The emerging new paradigm of library service demands imaginative approaches to implementing and financing. Hear the philosophical issues, hear concrete experiences in e-mail services, campus delivery, new approaches to resources sharing and external access, and the instructional, reference, and collection development implications of the Internet.
