In October 1998 the Division for Libraries, Technology, and Community Learning published the Wisconsin Library Technology Strategic Plan. This plan was a direct follow-up activity to the state library technology conference held in February 1998. Several weeks ago the Library Technology Conference Planning Steering Committee met to review the status of the plan. Division staff provided an update on the plan's five major goals and each of the goals' objectives. This was the last meeting of the Library Technology Conference Planning Steering Committee.
