There are still a few remaining places at this free seminar! ASVIN Seminar : Library co-operation and collaboration Wednesday 25th April 2001 British Library 9.30am - 4.15pm. The ASVIN project, funded by the Research Support Libraries Programme, has spent eighteen months researching the potential for collaborative collection management with a group of veterinary and animal health library and information services. The purpose of this seminar is the dissemination of those findings, and to hear other speakers discussing their experiences in some of the fields that ASVIN has researched. Whilst the project concentrated on the animal health and veterinary information field, the seminar will not be as subject specific. As a result the seminar will be of interest to librarians and information professionals working in the veterinary and animal health field, and also anyone with an interest in library co-operation. There is no charge for the seminar and coffee, lunch, and tea will be provided. 9.30 Registration/Coffee 10.00 Introductions and welcome 10.10 Ronald Milne, Director of RSLP, will give a brief overview of the RSLP, highlighting the collaborative nature of RSLP projects, and give an indication of likely future developments. 10.30 Bryn Davies, the ASVIN project Manager, will present the research findings of the project 11.15 Coffee 11.30 Hazel Woodward, University Librarian and Director of Cranfield University Press, will talk about "Access to e-journals and technical reports: the benefits of co-operation". 12.10 Bruce Madge, Head of the Health Care Information Service, The British Library, will discuss library co-operation with specific reference to health information. 12.50 Lunch 2.00 Dr Cuna Ekmekcioglu, Coordinator of the SCONE Projects Group, University of Strathclyde, will look at electronic developments in Scotland and subject-based co-operation. 2.35 Anne Bell, Director of Library Services, King's College London will consider consortial collaborative activities involving the work of the M25 Consortium and the "Docusend" document delivery project 3.10 Tea 3.25 Carl Clayton, Director of SINTO: The Sheffield Information Organisation, will talk about The National Forum for Information Planning, giving a national perspective to library co-operation. 4.00 Final Questions 4.15 Close For further information please contact: Alex Stutz The ASVIN Project Room F18a The Royal Veterinary College Royal College Street London NW1 0TU Tel: +44 (0)207 468 5187 Fax: +44 (0)207 383 0615 E-mail: [log in to unmask] SEMINAR BOOKING FORM ASVIN Seminar : Library co-operation and collaboration Wednesday 25th April 2001, The British Library, London Surname........................................................(Dr/Mr/Mrs/Mi ss/Ms) First Name ............................................................................ ...
