**Using the Internet to Help Business**
Tuesday 21st September 1999, 09.45 - 17.00
The Information Society Initiative Centre, 150 St Vincent Street,
Glasgow G2 5NE
This seminar will focus on three themes: using the Internet to help meet the
needs of business; finding sources on the Internet; and building and
maintaining an information gateway. There will be a particular focus on the
needs of Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs). The seminar should be of
interest to anyone who provides information services to business. There will be
a strong emphasis on exchange of experience. The number of participants is
limited to 25, to give an opportunity for good discussion and hands-on practice
at lunchtime and in the final session. Delegates will be asked to supply some
information in advance (e.g. naming their favourite websites) and this
information will be put together into a handout. There will also be handouts
relating to specific talks.
