                             Announcement

       33rd Annual Clinic on Library Applications of Data Processing:
                     Digital Image Access and Retrieval

        at the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology,
               The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
                             March 24-26, 1996

Sponsored by the Graduate School of Library and Information Science and the
Beckman Institute.

In the last several years digital images have changed from being an
expensive high technology peculiarity in libraries into an expectation.
Libraries are actively involved in organizing and managing large digital
image collections. These collections are now being created in nearly every
art and science. The same technologies can impact preservation, interlibrary
loan and classroom support. The central problems are the same as they have
been in libraries for centuries. How do we organize, assess, store and
protect the collects to meet the needs at a reasonable cost? This conference
will explore the digital image technology and many facets of its impact on
the libraries of today and tomorrow.

Who should attend: This conference will be of interest to librarians, image
database developers, academic computing staff, digital collection
developers, and educators who use visual media.
