Keynote Address:  "Forecasting the Future of Social Computing”

With the rise of the Internet, computing has shifted from a primarily 
solitary activity to a fundamentally social one. Social components are 
becoming a necessary feature in all kinds of applications. Elizabeth Lane 
Lawley will take you on a whirlwind tour of social applications, from the 
early days of networked communication to the cutting edge social tools 
arriving on the market today, and talk about their relevance to and use in 
library contexts.

the Rochester Institute of Technology, where she is also an Associate 
Professor of Information Technology. Her current teaching and research 
interests focus on social computing technologies such as weblogs, wikis, 
virtual worlds, and collaborative information retrieval.

She received her master's degree in Library Science from the University of 
Michigan in 1987. She received her doctorate in Information Science from 
the University of Alabama in 1999.
