UKOLUG Biennial Conference
Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers:
Exploiting the online environment for maximum advantage
20-21 June 2002
Jurys Inn, Birmingham
**The Conference**
The 2002 UKOLUG Biennial state of the art Conference will address the
concerns and considerations currently facing information professionals. It
will explore the latest trends and technologies in online information
provision. There will be the opportunity to see these innovative
technologies in action alongside practical papers delivered by key players
in the information industry.
The conference will update the knowledge base of all librarians,
information specialists and knowledge managers who work in increasingly
pressured and information intensive work environments and need timely
and convenient advice and tips on how to navigate and exploit the ever-
changing online environment. Bob McKee from CILIP: the Chartered
Institute of Library and Information Professionals, will set the stage for a
varied and informative programme with his keynote speech.
The speakers are leading experts in their field and will present papers
offering practical help you can take back and implement in your
organization. Many of the topics will be backed up by live demonstrations
of software and systems in action so you can see it really works!
In addition there will be ample opportunity for networking and meeting like-
minded professionals working in the library and information sector, with a
suitable balance of social activities, including a conference dinner and
reception, to provide some light relief from a full and informative schedule.
**Who should attend**
The conference is suitable for all librarians, information professionals and
knowledge workers in any sector including arts, humanities, education,
research, business, commerce, law, science, engineering and health.
Further details of the programme and a booking form are included
