"THE POWER OF INFORMATION"
FRIDAY 21ST NOVEMBER 2003, 9.00AM-4.20PM
THE MACAULAY INSTITUTE, CRAIGIEBUCKLER, ABERDEEN
In modern times, governments are demonstrating their faith in the power of information; by empowering their citizens, through access to information sources and systems. From treating information as a citizen's right, to enhancing people's lives through livelong learning, their intention is clear. This conference hopes, by bringing together specialists from many fields, to advance that aim and reinforce the power of information.
