Please book now at http://builder.bham.ac.uk/conference and forward this announcement to work colleagues. The deadline for bookings is fast approaching! ************************************************** PRACTICAL HYBRID LIBRARIES: BUILDING ON BUILDER The BUILDER Project Conference at the University of Birmingham 10-11 January 2001 The BUILDER Hybrid Library Project, based at the University of Birmingham, has taken a pragmatic approach to the development of the hybrid library, and has produced a number of 'nuts and bolts' techniques for delivering hybrid library products. Many of these techniques are easily applicable today. This non-residential conference is designed for all Library and Information Professionals and Computer/Systems Professionals, who are interested in the development of hybrid library services. If you have not been directly involved with the eLib programme, then this Conference is for you! In this fast moving environment, this Conference will serve to demonstrate in a very practical and easy to understand way what the hybrid library is all about, and what services and products it consists of. The full delegate fee is only 85 pounds, or 45 pounds for 1 day. Closing date for bookings is Friday 1 December 2000. Early booking is recommended. For further information about the conference - programme, speakers, online booking form - please visit the BUILDER Web site at http://builder.bham.ac.uk/conference, or email the Conference organiser, James Endicott (email: [log in to unmask]; tel.: (+44)(0)121 414 2766) for further information. ___________________________________ "BUILDER aims to develop a working model of the hybrid library within both a teaching and research context, seamlessly integrating access to a wide range of printed and electronic information sources, local and remote, using a Web-based interface, and in a way which will be universally applicable." BUILDER is supported as part of the Electronic Libraries Programme (eLib) which is funded by the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) of the Higher Education Funding Councils. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
