Dear list members
There is less than a month to go
before our seminar on Classification and places are filling up
fast, so don’t forget to register while there is still chance.
Classification is at the heart of ISKO's mission, and we have
secured an array of first-class speakers. The aim is to help
us individually and collectively review our approaches to the
subject. After the main presentations (see the latest
programme at http://www.iskouk.org/events/classification_july2012.htm
) there will be four breakout sessions, giving everyone the
opportunity to participate in the evolution of ideas.
The topics for the breakout sessions will be finalised based
on chosen preferences at the time of registration. If you have
thoughts on this, please enter them into the comments box when
you register.
The event is organized jointly
between ISKO UK and the Information Retrieval Specialist
Group (IRSG) of the British Computer Society. In the breaks
we hope to arrange demonstrations from vendors of software
designed to handle classification automatically.
The event fee (which includes lunch and refreshments) is 25
pounds to ISKO and BCS members and to full-time students and
just 60 pounds for non-members, payable in advance. To
reserve a place and see more details, please go to http://www.iskouk.org/events/classification_july2012.htm
. If you have booked already, don't forget the venue is the
London office of the British Computer Society <http://www.bcs.org/upload/pdf/london-office-guide.pdf>,
5 Southampton Street, London, WC2E 7HA .
