Meeting Announcement MA 98-21

Assessing Information Technology in Federal Libraries

The FLICC Information Technology (IT) Working Group is unveiling
its online instrument for librarians to assess the state of
information technology in their federal library or information
center. Join us for a discussion of how the IT Working Group
created the interactive survey, what topics it covers, how best to
complete it, how to use it to demonstrate your library or
information center's technological sophistication, and get more
agency support to expand your efforts.

Those who complete the online IT Assessment through the FLICC Web
site will join a national database of other respondents. This new
database will help you compare your library's hardware, software
and systems with other federal libraries whose size and mission
are similar to yours. You will also be able to use a set of
standard reports to see which integrated library systems other
libraries are using, who has a Web site, who has completed a
requirements analysis, and more!
