The conference will address the issues surrounding the effective promotion and marketing of the vast array of electronic information resources, currently available to the library world. The first part of the day will aim to demonstrate existing good practice in this particular field with speakers from the academic, health and public library sectors. The afternoon will allow an opportunity to find out about current research projects and findings within e-resources promotion. To end the conference, there will be a presentation from Professor Mark Stiles, an e-learning activist, who will talk about how e-libraries fit into learner- centred e-learning systems.
