>Advances in computing affect all who work with the fundamental resources of
>humanities scholarship. Long-held paradigms of scholarly resources-their
>ownership, their use, their distribution-are being transformed. Archivists,
>librarians, scholars, and publishers have to rework their relationships in
>this new information world, without losing sight of the traditional values
>of academic discourse. This conference will provide a forum to explore
>these changes and to seek the best ways to exploit them together.Please
>note that the programme is provisional at this stage, and that some papers,
>or entire sessions may need to be rearranged. A final programme will be
>provided at the conference, together with a book of abstracts. Sessions
>will run in parallel strands (usually three at a time) and there will be an
>exhibition running throughout the conference. Delegates wishing to
>demonstrate software during the conference are asked to apply as soon as
>possible to the Conference Co-ordinator.
