ROBERT WEDGEWORTH U N I V E R S I T Y L I B R A R I A N OP T H E L I B R A R Y OP T H E U N I V E R S I T Y OP I L L I N O I S AT U R B A N A - C H A M P A I G N A campus-wide committee report on the future of academic information and the library has been distributed for review and discussion. It setsfortha challenge to the campus and the University as to what must be done for the Uof I. to maintain a leadership position as we move into the next century. Implicit in this report is the recognition of the university as an incubator of talent and ideas consumed by business and government and ultimately expressed in services and products to the public. Our preoccupation is Knowledge: its creation, its analysis and interpretation, its organization and its dissemination. Our major sponsors as well as our major client for these activities are government and business. Our relationship to these entities is sometimes fragile, occasionally unfulfilling, and frequently misunderstood. Our program today celebrates the relationship with all of its problems and explores ways that we can strengthen it. We have two stellar guests to share their insight and some of their experience with us.
