SPECIAL LIBRARY ASSOCIATION MEETING HIGHLIGHTS

摘要

The Special Libraries Association d its annual meeting in early June in Los Angeles. Like many previous meetings, the emphasis was to make the conference as relevant as possible to the work of librarians in the special library environment. However, the attendance reflected not only special or corporate librarians but a range of librarians working in the academic and government sectors both in the US and abroad. This report does not give justice to all the simultaneous tracks or interesting content that was introduced in hundreds of sessions but highlights a couple that demonstrate how much technology impacts content utilization. The theme of the annual conference was "Putting knowledge to work," and you are invited to view the conference proceedings and accompanying content on the SLA Web site at: http:// www.sla.org/content/Events/conference/ 2002annual/ 2002presents/index.cfm where each SLA section has captured the significant information. Specifically, the Information Technology and the Hot Topics section embrace technology applications and may be the most relevant to the majority of LHTN readers.
