The AAAS Annual Meeting will be held in Detroit on 26-31 May 1983. The inclusive dates were given incorrectly as 21-31 May in the heading of the Preliminary Program (25 Feb., p. 948). The large body of water shown to the south of Detroit on the cover of the issue of 25 February is Lake Erie. The cover legend stated incorrectly that it was Lake Huron.

Information Systems

Integrated library systems.

The development of integrated library systems is discussed. The four major discussion points are (1) initial efforts; (2) network resources; (3) minicomputer-based systems; and (4) beyond library automation. Four existing systems are cited as examples of current systems.

Computers

Optical disk technology and information.

The optical video disk, spawned by the home entertainment industry, and its counterpart, the optical digital disk, both hold great promise for information storage and retrieval and the scientific enterprise. Optical digital disks for computer mass storage are currently under development by many firms. In addition, efforts are under way to allow encoding of digital information on video disks. This is desirable as an inexpensive publication medium for machine-readable data as well as a means of obtaining both video and digital information on one disk. Potential applications of this technology include inexpensive on-line storage, random access graphics to complement on-line information systems, hybrid network architectures, office automation systems, and archival storage.
