  9:00-10:00	Keynote: Communicating Science in the Next Generation:
	      New Implications for the Evolving Digital Library (Salon A)
		Richard Luce, Director, Los Alamos National Laboratory
		Research Library, New Mexico 

		Libraries and digital library efforts have played a key role in 
		facilitating the communication of scientific research. Today 
		networked computers have introduced a level of complexity
		because they allow types of  transactions we didn't dare
		dream of before. Are customer expectations and current 
		technologies converging? As our digital environments evolve
		almost faster than we can absorb, we must understand
		where scientific communication is moving in order to 
		anticipate how our roles today will change. The Library
		Without Walls at Los Alamos National Laboratory will be 
		used as an example of integrating leading digital library
		technology today with a view of what is on our horizon.

  10:15-10:45	oneFish by SIFAR: the Participatory Approach to 
	      Fisheries Information Management in the Virtual Environment
		Joan Baron Varley, SIFAR/FAO, Rome, Italy & EURASLIC President
		
		oneFish is a new Internet-based knowledge management system
		being developed by SIFAR and the UN/FAO Fisheries Department
		in partnership with the World Agriculture Information Centre
		(WAICENT). The design team has spent the last year developing
		a prototype that is now undergoing intensive testing by a
		small group of fisheries specialists, with a view to launching
		the system in the Fall, 2000. oneFish draws together a broad
		cross section of stakeholders within the fisheries and
		aquatic research community. The design of oneFish has 
		been demand-led, and the management of oneFish
		is fully decentralised, with the primary aim of raising 
		the profile of fisheries and aquatic research and
		reinforcing its impact on responsible fisheries
		development. An overview of oneFish is presented.
		Development to date is described, along with new
		attributes and functionality in progress, and additional
		attributes and functionality proposed for the future.
		oneFish development is currently being sponsored by 
		DFID (UK), Norway, ICEIDA, CIDA, IDRC, The World 
		Bank, UNDP, and FAO.

  11:30-12:00	Enterprise Information Portal:
	      the Thursday-After Problem
		Dr. Julie Hartigan, Autonomy, Inc, San Francisco, CA

		An enterprise information portal offers a customized
		view of internal and external information that is
		relevant to an individual's job, whether they are
		students, researchers, or librarians. The portal's
		primary goal is to minimize the need for patrons
		to waste time endlessly searching through the
		intranet, internal repositories, or the Web.
		Additionally a portal should enable Information 
		Professionals to more effectively serve their patrons.

  1:30-2:00	Advanced Web Searching for the Information Professional
		Kristen Metzger, Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution, Florida
			
		Information professionals don't "surf the net" since this implies 
		that one is just skimming over the surface of a sea of information
		or worse, drowning in it. To quickly extract specific, relevant
		information from the Internet, the serious searcher must be
		familiar with the structure, functionality, strengths,
		weaknesses and special features of the most efficient search
		engines. We'll examine the differences between free-text
		and index-based search engines, multi-search engines,
		web directories, metasites and intelligent agents.

  8:30-9:15	Keynote: Seeing the Future Work: Librarians
	      and Libraries: New Guiding Principles
		Carla Stoffle, Dean of Libraries, Univ. of Arizona

		The ARL has developed Three Keystone Principles to guide
		libraries to become "the ... intellectual crossroad, the hub
		of the knowledge network". These principles cover the most
		important and pressing issues for libraries today. These include
		scholarly and government information availability, the creation
		of information systems and the dissemination and preservation
		of information and knowledge, and finally, the role of the
		library as the intellectual commons where the community
		meets to create and share new knowledge. This presentation
		will discuss these principles and the role librarians will play
		in meeting the challenge of creating the library of the future.

  9:15-9:30	Questions

  9:30-10:00	IAMSLIC Linking Libraries Project
		Anne Ball, NOAA Coastal Services Center, Information Resources
		
		The NOAA Coastal Information Library is a Web site
		that allows users to locate coastal resources by searching
		the on-line catalog systems of many libraries throughout 
		the United States.
		
		Recently, the developers of the Coastal Information Library
		were asked to create a similar system for IAMSLIC.
		Its members were contacted, and those with Z39.50
		systems provided the developers with access
		parameters for their catalogs which in turn were
		added to the Coastal Information Library.
	
		Now, the opportunity exists to either update the
		Coastal Information Library to better meet the needs
		of IAMSLIC or to create a separate IAMSLIC catalog
		search page.

  10:30-11:00	Culture and Competition in Killer Whales
		Lance Barrett-Lennard, Univ. of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC

		Humans have long been fascinated by killer whales.  
		They roam every ocean, hunt in packs, and prey on
		the largest animals that have ever lived on earth.
		They also form remarkably strong bonds and use vocal
		dialects.  Fifteen years ago, researchers were astonished
		to discover another aspect of their social behaviour:
		in some areas, independent fish-eating and mammal-eating
		populations share the same waters.  To learn how this 
		unusual situation developed, I collected and analyzed
		several hundred DNA samples from Pacific killer whales.
		Among other questions, my study asked whether 
		individuals ever migrate between the two groups and whether
		the populations are, in fact, cryptic species.  I will discuss
		my findings and present the case that the population
		segregation reflects cultural rather than genetic differences, 
		and that it arose and persists because it reduces
		competition and conflict.

  11:00		(Introduction: Jim Markham)

  11:00-11:30	Coastal Peoples and Marine Plants on the Northwest Coast
		Nancy Turner, Univ. of Victoria, B.C.

 		Marine Algae and seagrasses have been important resources for 
  		the Northwest Coast First Peoples for millenia.  They provide food,
		materials and medicines, and feature in peoples narratives and
		traditions.  This presentation will introduce people to these and 
		other culturally significant species of marine plants.

  10:25-10:45	Ocean Biogeochemical Cycles and Climate Change
		Angelica Pena, Fisheries and Oceans Canada,
		Pacific Region, Ocean Science and Productivity Division	

		The climate appears to be changing due to the increase
		of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere because of
		human activity. The ocean carbon cycle plays a major
		role controlling atmospheric CO2 levels. The oceans
		presently remove about 30% of the annual anthropogenic
		CO2 emissions. Variability in the biogeochemical cycles
		could exert significant feedback effects during conditions
		of climate change. Given the complexity of ocean
		biogeochemistry, coupled biogeochemical / ocean 
		circulation models are principal tools to assess and 
		understand the sensitivity to climate change of the
		ocean carbon cycle. However, substantial improvements
		are required in the current suite of numerical models
		if we are to better understand the present ocean
		biogeochemical state and predict potential future
		responses to anthropogenic perturbations.
