Partnerships in the Electronic Age: The Asia Pacific Experience

A free MCB and Library Link Lunch, Workshop and Discussion Group
for IFLA attendees -
Monday 23 August 1999, 12.00 -2.30pm Room 211, Bangkok International
Trade & Exhibition Centre, Bangkok

MCB University Press and Library Link is holding an interactive
workshop over lunch on Monday 23 August 1999 from 12.00.

"Partnerships in the Electronic Age" will provide a forum for the
exchange of ideas and information. The format of the workshop will
be a light lunch followed by a brief presentation. There will then
be a discussion of the challenges facing librarians, publishers and
vendors - how can they work together to provide solutions and
opportunities in the electronic age?

Librarians, library governors, LIS academics and others interested in
the resources and initiatives of MCB University Press are invited to
attend. We envisage that it will be a lively and interesting two
hours, building on emergent issues from the MCB and Library Link
workshop held during the ALA Mid-Winter event.

Key themes will include:

    The Role of the Librarian in the New Electronic Age
    Electronic information: Issues for Library Acquisition
    and Usage
    Consortia
    Archiving: who should do it and how?

If you are attending IFLA, please register your place at the above
workshop by e-mailing Michelle Kelly at [log in to unmask] Places are
limited, so book early to avoid disappointment.

management and futures. It is a free resource, supported by 15
journals published by MCB UP in the field of Librarianship and
Information Management. Members benefit from access to top quality
learned information about current issues in the field. In order to

As a precursor to the Workshop, an online discussion will take place at the

is open to all.
