News from UKeIG
UKOLUG becomes UKeIG
The Group’s name has changed. The membership passed a motion at the 26th
UKOLUG AGM (8th June 2004) to change the groups’ name to UKeIG (UK
eInformation Group), and now CILIP Council have approved this name change.
Gary Horrocks, the Chair of UKeIG commented,
“UKeIGs’ focus has increasingly become the accessibility, use and
management of electronic information, whether on the Internet, in online
databases, on CD-ROM or via corporate networks and intranets.
We are constantly evolving - in tune with the electronic information
environment in the United Kingdom and further afield.”
Looking forward to the future he added:
“We are already planning one of our most extensive meetings and training
programme covering Copyright, e-books, internet searching and topic based
events such as Pharmaceutical and European Information. This is a great
time for those who haven’t used our services before to benefit from UKeIG
and we are looking forward to being the key independent body that
representest the electronic information user community"
UKeIG continues to offer a wide and dynamic range of expertise and services
to electronic information users as individuals or organisations, including
a discussion list, awards, advocacy and an informative website for e-
information professional. In the last year this website
(www.ukolug.org.uk) has been updated with exciting additions including the
increasingly popular factsheets on topics such as ‘How to Block Pop-Ups’
and ‘Dealing with Spyware’
The UK eInformation Group is set to be unveiled at Online Information 2004
(Olympia Grand Hall London November 30-December 2) as part of an exciting
new phase for the professional group founded in 1978 to provide support for
users of the then new online information retrieval services. Those
interested in joining or finding out more about the group can meet UKeIG
committee members on Stand 203 at that event
