Technology with a Face: High Tech Meets High Touch is the theme for the
2007 LACUNY Institute to be held on May 18, 2007 at Baruch College, the
City University of New York.

As librarians, we have historically prided ourselves on our
face-to-face relations with patrons. As we adapt to new and diverse
students: net gens, adult learners, international students, etc., our
emerging challenge has been to maintain this personal touch in the
increasingly technocentric academic library environment. How can we
creatively apply new technologies to better connect with user research
needs and foster information literacy?

Speakers include: Steven Bell (Temple University), Nancy Foster & David
Lindahl (University of Rochester), Kornelia Tancheva (Cornell
University), Susan McGlamery (OCLC Question point)and Ralph Vacco
(Kognito)
