The conference will address the latest issues in electronic library provision including funding and digitisation initiatives, problems of copyright and archiving, electronic publishing of primary and secondary sources, access to the internet, navigational tools and developing projects, netskills training and user perspectives. Friday and Saturday morning sessions will provide opportunities for hands-on workshops in the University's computer suites. Specific subject-orientated demonstrations, including using ADAM links, will be featured. 1997 is the 1500th anniversary of St Augustine's landing in Kent. An afternoon of planned visits will provide an opportunity to discover Canterbury's rich heritage including the Cathedral and its library, St Augustine's Abbey and the University Library's Centre for Cartoons and Caricature. From navigating the net, the conference will navigate the narrow lanes of Kent with visits to the county's historic villages, renowned for their houses, gardens and castles. There will be an opportunity for conference delegates to book an additional study tour of Paris art libraries. This is being organised in conjunction with Nicole Picot, curator at the Bibliotheque et archives des Musees nationaux at the Louvre. The study tour will be from Sunday 6th July to Wednesday 9th July by Eurostar from Ashford in Kent. Separate booking forms will be supplied on request. ************************************************ An outline conference programme will be available shortly.
