----------------------------Original message----------------------------
A year ago, I had the great honor and privilege of participating in a
Colloquium on Library Science Research entitled "Internet, Metadata and
Information Access to Libraries and Networks
in the Electronic Age" at the University Center for Library Science Research
(CUIB) of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM)
[http://cuib.laborales.unam.mx/cursos/coloquio.html ]
During the conference I had the pleasure of meeting
Michael Gorman, Dean of the California State University Library, Fresno, who
gave the colloquium's keynote address; Robin Wendler, Office of Information
Systems, Harvard University; Judith Hopkins, University of Buffalo and owner of
the Autocat e-list;
Sandy Roe of Dakota State University; Traugott Koch of the NetLab of Lund
University; and several Mexican librarians and information specialists as well
as faculty associated with CUIB, including its director
Lic. Elsa Ramirez Leyva, and Dr. Filberto Felipe Martinez-Arellano and Lic. Lina
Escalona-Rios, joint
coordinators of the Colloquium.
Earlier this summer selected papers from the Colloquium were re-published in
an issue of the _Journal of Internet Cataloging_ 2(1) . Abstracts of these
papers can be read at
http://www.haworthpressinc.com/jic/jic2nr1.html
I invite my colleagues to review this contents page and when opportunity
presents itself to read these excellent contributions [I wish to personally
thank Dr. Ruth Carter, editor of JIC, for considering these papers for
re-publication in a special issue, and CUIB for its permission]. Although not
include in JIC, the presentation by Traugott Koch is available online at:
http://www.ub2.lu.se/tk/demos/mex9808a.html
All conference papers, including a number by
our Mexican and Latin colleagues, are scheduled to be published / have been
published in a separate
conference proceedings.
I wish to formally thank my hosts at CUIB for their gracious hospitality and
kindness, for their support, and for the opportunity to participate in this most
informative, stimulating, and provocative program.
