Sessions will be held relating to the Internet, electronic publishing, computerized instruction, and library information services. * The Internet sessions will explore the potential of Internet services, and demonstrate the best material available for First Nations students and community members. *Library automation software as used at the SICC will be available for free to band libraries in Saskatchewan: LEXIFILE search and circulation modules plus training. Software lists at $1700.00. Free software utility programs and instructions available for out of province attendees. *Archiving sessions deal with big issues. What do we archive? Who gets access? Who performs the work? What new technolgies are available? How do we get funding? *The Hyperlink curriculum session will show how technological advances can help us to relate or transform exisiting curriculum to a First Nations product. *"Pathfinders" is a computerized approach to managing instruction. It has achieved some successes in First Nations schools; a representative will demonstrate it. *Book and periodical jobbers lend their high-volume benefits and automation expertise to lessen the load on local library staff.
