Will there be librarians in the 21st century? Or for that matter will there be books 100 years from now? Alain Seznec, the Carl A. Kroch University Librarian at Cornell and professor of Romance studies, will give his fearless prediction for the future of the library in the information age during a presentation Wednesday, April 10, at 7:30 p.m. at the Philbrook Museum of Art, 2727 South Rockford Road, Tulsa. The presentation is sponsored by the Cornell Club of Oklahoma.

You are welcome to attend Seznec's presentation. To make arrangements or to interview Seznec, contact Darryl Geddes at the Cornell News Service, (607) 255-9735.

Seznec, born and educated in France, has been a member of the Cornell community for almost 40 years, serving in a variety of positions, among them dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, vice provost for the humanities and performing arts, and chairman of the Department of Romance Studies.

Seznec is the author of Diderot and Pope's Essay on Man and has written primarily about 17th- and 18th-century French literature.
