EUSIDIC Annual Conference
Park Hotel Schoenbrunn, Vienna. 11-14 October 1998
>From Information to Intelligence
Every aspect of the information chain is changing as the drive to enhance performance imposes the requirement that whatever information the user needs must be delivered direct to the desktop, and in a form which can be absorbed immediately to add value to the work process. Eusidic's Annual Conference which explores these changes provides an ideal opportunity for a state-of-the-art review of the new technologies and the new approaches which are changing the map of information management, libraries and publishing. The core of the meeting will be half day sessions with key speakers and recognised experts exploring the three themes: technology; the user's view; and the publisher's view. A fourth session on the place of free information in the information economy will discuss the role of state and commercial information providers, as more information is made available free on the Web. The Conference will end with a series of practical workshops. The information exchange will be highly interactive, delegates will have ample opportunity to share experience, discuss their situation and identify solutions.
Eusidic is the largest association representing the widest range of participants in the electronic information sector. It is the leading European forum for the provision of information, and the exchange of experience, opinion and advice, amongst organisations active in the production, distribution and use of information services.
