Memories of the future: new library technologies in information transfer, processing and storage — the Library Association Information Technology Group's Third Annual Conference, 12–14 June 1987 Available to Purchase

Any attempt to describe this conference cannot hope to do justice to the scope and content of the papers, some of which are being reproduced in Its News. The conference was opened by William Masterton from Middlesex Polytechnic who raised the debatable issue of the role of the librarian as educator. He felt we should provide ‘value‐added information’ and should not play a passive role.
