Thomas Carlyle remarked that the true university is a collection of
books. He could not, of course, have foreseen the range of services libraries
provide today films, audio- and videotapes, microfiche, and computerized
access to information of every kind.
Data processing is important today and it is the wave of the future.
Literacy today is not defined only in the conventional sense. It also means
computer literacy.
This annual Clinic was one of the first anywhere to recognize the
long-term influence data processing was to have on the public sector.
When these Clinics were begun, others were seeing data processing merely
as a remarkable tool for business and research. The library industry looked
ahead and saw what everyone knows today that data processing is also a
remarkable tool for just about every aspect of our lives. The home, business,
recreation, and the school all benefit from data processing.
