Abstract

Frederick G. Kilgour, founder and architect of the On‐line Computerized Library Center (OCLC), and his wife Eleanor were special guests of the University of Alabama School of Library and Information Studies at its 1994 Alumni Day, 21 October 1994. The Kilgours toured the Library School, including its typesetting, bindery and computer laboratories, and electronic classrooms. Dr Kilgour spoke at the School's annual alumni day luncheon and made another formal presentation that evening. The evening lecture originated from the Tuscaloosa campus of the University of Alabama and was broadcast by the University's two‐way, interactive television system to audiences at sites in Auburn, Birmingham and Huntsville (points lying approximately at the vertices and centre of a triangle with sides 250, 265 and 330 kilometres long). Because of the interactive nature of the television system, Kilgour and his audience were able to see each other and to speak to each other.
