Dear All,
We still have a limited number of places available on both of the following London-based half day seminars run by the International Library and Information Group (ILIG) (http://www.cilip.org.uk/ilig). The morning seminar, covering the basics, is being run by Phil Bradley (http://www.philbradley.typepad.com/) while the afternoon seminar, which concentrates on how Web 2.0 technologies can be used to develop, advance and promote library services, is being run by Lyn Robinson and will reflect her interest and experience in Health Information provision. Please forward details of these events to colleagues and any other discussion lists of interest.
Apologies for cross-posting and have good weekends when you get there.
Kind Regards
Doug
