Hello everyone
The European Information Association's next training course 'Electronic
sources of EU information' takes place in London on Wednesday 6
December.
The course gives you the opportunity to compare a range of electronic
sources, including CD-ROMs, on-line databases and websites in the field
of EU information - and there's plenty of hands-on time.
The programme is outlined below. The cost is 150 GBP to EIA members, 195
GBP to non members which includes lunch, refreshments and documentation.
Please contact me if you'd like further information and/or an
application form.
Best wishes
