<p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>The
panel will include five speakers. Professor Peter Bol from Harvard
University will begin by addressing the needs of the academic community and the
roles he sees libraries playing in supporting teaching and research. He
will also address how digital resources are changing teaching and research and
what role collaboration with other institutions (for example, libraries in
China) can play. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>Thomas
C. /Leonard/, Past President of the Association for Research Libraries and
Kenneth and Dorothy Hill University Librarian, University of California,
Berkeley, will speak about how foreign language collections have made America
what it is today - a magnet for global studies and scholarly endeavor. He will
also examine the impact of recent developments such as mass digitization on
foreign language collections in North America's largest research libraries.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Latin American studies librarian but also as a current library director. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>Building
