[Marloth _at__ t-online.de (Heinz Marloth)]

Liebe KollegInnen,
die folgende ankuendigung leite ich gerne an sie weiter:

> 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.

Wie sagte doch ein Kollege mal: Kontrollen im Internet lassen sich
genauso gut implementieren wie das deutsche Steuerrecht.
