Thanks, Ed, for posting the names of the speakers and their programs at this
Leadership Institute, along with your annotations.  I have an interest in
Web search engines so the info on the computer scientist at the National
Library of Medicine was especially appreciated.  (Took a look at his
presentation and, although it looked as if it were chockful of interesting
info, many of the bullet points were just teasers, without any elaboration.
I've already emailed him to see if he might be able to point me to some more
useful articles.  If that doesn't pan out, then I may be picking your brain
sometime in the near future.  Sure hope you took copious notes.)  ;-)

Thanks again for the great post.

Amy
