The LITA Interest Group CALM (Customized Applications for Library
Microcomputers) would like to invite you to it's 1994 program: Using
Built-in Program Development Languages to Create Customized Applications.
The program will be Sunday, June 26 from 9:30 am until 12:30 pm. Our
panel of speakers consists of:
Dan Marmion
Library Systems Administrator
Oklahoma State University
Margaret Mooney
Head, Government Publications Department
University of California--Riverside
John D. Lewis
Program Support Technician
Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University
Marcia D. Talley
Co-author, _Automating the Library with askSam: a Practical Handbook_
Manager, Library Systems Support
U.S. General Accounting Office
Many off-the-shelf packages include powerful development languages
that allow people to create customized applications without the need
to learn complex programming languages like C++ or Pascal. Speakers
will demonstrate applications that they developed using application
development languages, and will discuss the processes and techniques
they used to create them. These will include a dBase application that
creates a database from OCLC authority records in a multi-user, networked
environment (Margaret Mooney; a Paradox application that enables book
selectors to submit orders via a local area network (Dan Marmion); an
application that tracks ILL requests using Paradox for Windows and
Visual Basic (John D. Lewis); and library automation applications, such
as circulation and cataloguing, using askSam (Marcia D. Talley).
