EUSIDIC Annual Conference
Park Hotel Schoenbrunn, Vienna. 11-14 October 1998
From Information to Intelligence
Every aspect of the information chain is changing as the drive to =
enhance performance imposes the requirement that whatever information =
the user needs must be delivered direct to the desktop, and in a form =
which can be absorbed immediately to add value to the work process. =
Eusidic's Annual Conference which explores these changes provides an =
ideal opportunity for a state-of-the-art review of the new technologies =
and the new approaches which are changing the map of information =
management, libraries and publishing. The core of the meeting will be =
half day sessions with key speakers and recognised experts exploring the =
three themes: technology; the user's view; and the publisher's view. A =
fourth session on the place of free information in the information =
economy will discuss the role of state and commercial information =
providers, as more information is made available free on the Web. The =
Conference will end with a series of practical workshops. The =
information exchange will be highly interactive, delegates will have =
ample opportunity to share experience, discuss their situation and =
identify solutions.
Eusidic is the largest association representing the widest range of =
participants in the electronic information sector. It is the leading =
European forum for the provision of information, and the exchange of =
experience, opinion and advice, amongst organisations active in the =
production, distribution and use of information services.
