Some of you may remember I've got a webpage on this waiting in a queue for
the BL website? Well, its still there and I dont know when it will make it
to the site (not just trains that get delayed!) I've decided to send it
round in text form in case anyone wants it, as obviously the content ages
quickly. Apologies for lack of web functionality- if there are urls you want
which arent displayed, contact me (I can email the web page or just specific
urls). If it's an event linked to a health LIS group, many of the groups are
listed at http://www.bl.uk/services/information/hgroups.html
I'll add in Cochrane dates once available - details of them go up at
http://www.york.ac.uk/inst/crd/cochlib.htm
Let me know if there are is anything else you think would be useful to list.
I promise I wont send this out as a huge email again; next time it will be
just the url for the new page (thinking positive, here!)
