Abstract
This paper explains the shift away from educating the expert towards teaching the teacher that has occurred in instruction for information and document retrieval in the School of Information Studies at the University of Technology, Sydney. It identifies the model of professional information practice and the theoretical under-pinning of the graduate and undergraduate programs offered by this School. It also explores the changing context of information retrieval as we move away from remote online database retrieval towards retrieval via local CD-ROM databases. The paper concludes with a look toward future directions and what their implications are for instruction and for the profession (AU)

Abstract
The provision of summaries is of crucial importance for fully effective retrieval of information, but research on summarization has been relatively neglected, After an outline of the basic linguistic and cognitive complexities of text understanding and summarizing, the paper reviews some current projects towards automating various aspects of summarization, and discusses future prospects.
