Good Afternoon and apologies for cross posting The use of technology and in particular the development and use of the Internet has connected more people to more resources since humankind invented the other great communicators, namely the telephone, telegraph, printing presses and television. Our problem does not lie with where to find information, rather how to sift through the bias, hearsay, personal opinion and fiction to the real facts! As more and more information comes online, the problem of finding the right information at the right time becomes more problematic. Are we heading for a society of the information rich and the information poor, or has this information divide always existed? This month we have a look at the use of the Internet to deliver valuable information; free of charge and the impact this may well have on a number of professions and industries in the open access debate. The May edition is now available from our web site - http://www.iea.com.au along with the Registrant Resources edition which looks at where to find job information. We would like to thank you in advance for forwarding this onto friends, colleagues and other interested readers. We look forward to seeing you at IEA's inaugural seminar on Electronic Document & Records Management Systems in June.
