The 2005 IASSIST Conference (International Association for Social Science
Information Service and Technology) is being held in association with IFDO
(International Federation of Data Organisations) at the Holyrood Hotel in
Edinburgh, Scotland from Wednesday 25th to Friday 27th May, hosted by
Edinburgh University Data Library & EDINA.
The conference, which takes place in Europe on a rotating basis, is relevant
to data managers, creators, and users, as well as librarians and other
information professionals who now have responsibility for providing support
for the use of research data, especially in the Social Sciences and other
observational disciplines.
The conference will include plenary sessions, parallel sessions, a poster
session and workshops. See http://datalib.ed.ac.uk/iassist/programme.shtml
for the full programme and social events.
The conference will be preceded by optional skills-building workshops on
Tuesday 24th May. (Conference attendance not required - see
http://datalib.ed.ac.uk/iassist/workshops.shtml for descriptions.) A weekend
in the Scottish Highlands will follow the conference for those wishing to
add to their experience of Scotland and network further with delegates.
Please register for the conference in advance, at
http://datalib.ed.ac.uk/iassist/registration.shtml or email

We look forward to welcoming delegates to Edinburgh.
