Creating a website should only be regarded as the very first step in
establishing a presence on the Internet. This seminar will cover ways
in which you can effectively promote your website, increase the number
of visitors, add interaction to your site and make it an effective
member of staff. Although the course will not be hands on, delegates
should have some understanding of the Internet, and preferably be
involved in their organisation's site.

*** Business Information: Resource Management Strategies
Wednesday 20 March 0930 - 1630
Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, London
Desktop access to the Internet is becoming commonplace with the result
that many end users have direct access to a wide range of resources of
variable quality. Directing users to more reliable sources and
managing this access presents both a challenge and an opportunity to
the information professional. This workshop provides a step by step
guide to setting up a central resource management strategy. It
includes identifying patterns of usage within the organisation, how to
select appropriate resources, managing and marketing those resources
internally

Chemical Information: Maximizing the opportunities and minimizing the
challenges Thursday 18 April 2002 0930 - 1630 University of Leeds
Since the early days of computers, developers of chemical information
systems have exploited the technology of the day to the full, enabling
chemists to search information sources using their natural language -
the chemical structure and reaction. The result is that today
chemistry probably has a larger range of information search tools
available with greater functionality than any other subject area.
Themes for this meeting will include: a comparison of chemical
information systems available in academia and industry; an exploration
of education and training needs in both environments; problems
associated with integration of systems; the transition from searching
by intermediaries to end-users. There will be a panel discussion,
where users and vendors will be able to present their views on issues
raised
