All, I stumbled upon the conference publication [1] from a conference at U Minn's Charles Babbage Institute on women and computing. Not only is it excellent, but it has an entire chapter on librarians and computers. In fact, I don't think that chapter got it quite right, and I'm thinking that we somehow need to start capturing our own history, perhaps through interviews/oral histories. I've dreamed about doing that for the MELVYL system, before too many of us can't remember what day it is. The conference pages include a good bibliography [2]. And the CBI archive pages have great photos and other interesting historical information.
