November 2007 – The IEEE Library Advisory Council (LAC) had their annual meeting last month in New York City, New York, USA. Formed in 1999, the Library Advisory Council is a group of international corporate, academic, and government librarians who consult with the IEEE to develop products and policies. Scheduled over two days, the meeting allowed members to discuss important issues and developments related to libraries and the IEEE. Important highlights included a presentation on the expanding role of e-resources in technology development and updated U.S. patent guidelines by Anthony Breitzman, Principal and Director of Research, 1790 Analytics. The meeting also included a discussion about best practices in resources access and delivery methods with Sharon Shaw, Advanced Micro Devices and Dee Magnoni, Olin College of Engineering. Several upcoming IEEE Xplore® research and development projects were also presented by Barbara Lange, IEEE Staff Director, Product Management. Additionally, Richard Sweeney, University Librarian, New Jersey Institute of Technology, discussed the “Millennial Disconnect” and how networking sites, the Internet, cell phones, and changing work ethics have affected, and been affected by, the millennial age group. |
