Conference Overview
A primary goal of libraries is to develop and adopt integrating technology to provide access to a full range of services, through a common user interface. Access to local and commercial databases, electronic publications, and network-based information, user-initiated request and document delivery services, public relations, orientation and bibliographic instruction are all part of the holistic view that the World Wide Web, Z39.50 and other tools have made possible.
Access '96 is designed to include major developments regarding emerging technologies with actual or potential applications to libraries. It is built around major themes now central to electronic libraries:
* Emerging network access tools
* User authentication and security
* Electronic payment systems
* Network saturation
* Censorship on the net
