'ELECTRIC CONNECTIONS'
COSMIC & SPEIR Joint Conference, Perth College, 21st August 2003, 10am - 4pm
The attached announcement and registration form informs those staff from Library, Archives, Museums, and elsewhere, about the upcoming COSMIC and SPEIR 'Electric Connections' conference. This will include a number of exciting events,including the relaunch of a new improved CAIRNS and a session on the proposed Scottish Distributed Digital Library, and its relationship to regional initiatives such as the Glasgow Digital Library. A must for anyone who needs to stay in touch with the developments and initiatives that will influence the development of
'Virtual Scotland'.
There is also an invitation to those hosting other relevant projects and initiatives to attend and present or demonstrate. Note that this is currently assumed not to include commercial companies but it can include relevant initiatives where the resources involved are hard copy rather than electronic if, for example, they are or will be searchable through CAIRNS or SCONE.
The conference is free (apart from travel) thanks to SLIC funding of the SPEIR project but you MUST REGISTER to avoid disappointment since numbers will be limited to about 80.
See the attached document for details.
Regards,
George Macgregor
