10 - 12 April, Keele University, Staffordshire, UK
Http://www.uksg.org
This Conference and exhibition, now in its 23rd year, has established
itself as one of the major events in the fast-moving world of scholarly
and research communication. It attracts a wide range of delegates
and exhibitors from the UK, Europe and beyond - and has a reputation
for addressing key industry developments and attracting policy
makers and strategic thinkers as both speakers and delegates.
Key topics for librarians, intermediaries and publishers:
- new economic models
- latest issues in licensing and copyright
- portals: a new way to reach new markets?
- knowledge management: what role for LIS professionals?
- promoting, measuring and understanding e-journal usage

SPECIAL NOTE
Due to the increasing popularity of the annual UKSG Conference
and limitations on available on-campus accommodation, we originally
imposed a limitation of two delegates per organisation for this year's
event.
I am pleased to report that we have now managed to acquire additional
accommodation at this year's venue. So if you wish to nominate more
than two delegates from your organisation, you may do so using
the online application form at:-
http://www.uksg.org/cgi/conf2000.pl
We will then add you to our "reserve list". If, after the closing date for
regular applications (March 17), there are any spare places, we will
fill them from this "reserve list" in the order in which they were received.
Please send no payment now. We will invoice you if your application is
successful.
