SELECTING ELECTRONIC PRODUCTS: A BEGINNER'S GUIDE 28 February 2006, London Those responsible for the selection, purchase, customisation and exploitation of electronic information resources need to develop new skill sets: including decision- making, analysing, influencing, negotiating or business understanding. The selection of electronic information products is a complex process. It is essential to understand why the information is needed and to have awareness of the full range of information resources available. It is equally important to be able to keep within restricted budgets and be confident enough to decide between similar resources.

Some practical sessions will be included.
