This article describes the results of the 19th annual Computers in Libraries Conference in Washington, DC on March 10-12, 2004. The conference peered into the future, drew lessons from the past, and ran like clockwork. Program chair Jane Dysart and her organizing committee are by now old hands, bringing together three keynote addresses, 100 speakers in 60 panel discussions, and 50 vendor exhibits. Tom Hogan, president of conference sponsor Information Today, confirmed that the 2000 preregistered attendees, from 46 states and 13 countries, represented a seven percent increase over 2003.
