CSISAC ANNOUNCES SEPTEMBER ROUNDTABLE AND ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

The Missing Link?: Understanding and Using the Benefits of Linking
Technology in Your Library

Linking is fast becoming the trend to watch. Database creators, aggregators,
system vendors and secondary source suppliers are creating alliances to
integrate their data and systems in ways never before thought possible.

In the not-to-distant future online researchers will seamlessly move through
links in full-text articles, OPACs, indices and web sites as they conduct
their research.  A truly fluid and boundaryless world all brought about by
linking!

Learn from our panel of experts about how linking works, why linking works,
how it will impact on your collection and how it effects how we think about
and manage serials.

Date   :  Monday September 20, 1999
Time   :  9:30 - noon  (to be followed by the AGM)
