Dear Colleague, I hope that you will be aware that for the past three years the Library has been engaged in the not inconsiderable task of converting all of its card catalogue records into a form where they can appear on the on-line public access catalogue. To mark the conclusion of the project there is to be a guest lecture, sponsored by BLPMP Library Services and OCLC Europe, on the theme, "Information access in the age of networks."

The lecturer is David R Worlock, a publisher with wide experience in managing folio and electronic publishing companies in educational, academic and professional information fields in United kingdom, European and international markets. His lecture will centre on the idea that increasingly widespread network access - for voice, television or text availability - at ever greater bandwidths, connotes an industrial revolution as profound and far-reaching as the Age of Steam.

The lecture will take place at 4.00pm on Wednesday, 15th June 1994 in the English Lecture Theatre. I do hope that you will be able to attend.

Yours sincerely, NORMAN J RUSSELL Librarian
