The topic is one that is vital to today's libraries, and I will solicit leaders from different models of organizations (IT within library/IT external to library, public/private, etc.) to speak on this topic in an engaging one-hour interactive session.</mods:abstract><mods:classification authority="lcc">General Topics</mods:classification><mods:originInfo><mods:dateIssued encoding="iso8601">2010-05-13</mods:dateIssued></mods:originInfo><mods:genre>Conference or Workshop Item</mods:genre></mods:mods>
