Summary

Digital libraries with their vast array of volumes, journals, and rare books put a wealth of information at the fingertips of anyone, anywhere, anytime who has access to the Internet. Dr. Cassel, an expert on information storage, classification, retrieval and networking can speak about how the advent of digital libraries has changed scholarship. As an internationally-recognized expert on computing education she has helped Villanova attain the status of one of 13 Pacesetter schools promoting women in computing.
