Push technology automatically delivers the information you want to
your desktop through a variety of methods.  News, stocks, weather,
database content, and even software reach your desktop without
requiring you to surf the Web.

Libarians, as both information receivers and providers, will want to
learn about this new technology, its major players and possible
applications in library services, as well as seeing a demonstration of
some of the new browser channels.

Please join Amira Aaron, Electronic Services Product Manager of
Blackwell's Information Services, as she leads the discussion on this
exciting new technology.
