International and trans-border information transfer. Thank you again for
your replies. Some of these below have been accepted by CILIP for this
section of PPDPs or Route A training programmes.
1. Developments in alternative modes of publishing e.g. BioMedCentral.
2. The work of groups like BIALL for example - British & Irish Assoc. of
Law Librarians.
3. Donation of unwanted material to charities e.g. Books Abroad.
4. IFLA Conferences.
5. Data Protection Act - e.g. personal data transfers outside EU.
6. Use of the internet for information delivery or email discussion lists.
7. Document delivery from abroad .eg. issues of payment, media, language,
copyright.
8. Distance learning, VLEs, remote delivery of information, international
