ASISPNC Annual Meeting
ASISPNC Annual Meeting
Theme: Managing the Information Deluge, 18-19 September 1998, Oregon Health Sciences University
Technology allows us to store, retrieve and manipulate data in ways that were not possible just a few years ago. However, most organisations have neither succeeded in ensuring that all their current information is useable, nor have they succeeded in developing a long term strategy to ensure that the electronic information produced today will be accessible in the future. In order to function, organisations and individuals have become reliant on huge amounts of information stored, processed and retrieved according to a constantly expanding number of formats, protocols, and methods. This information lends itself poorly to long term archiving -- especially in distributed computing environments where it is not clear who should be responsible for maintaining the information.
Proposal submission guidelines
A proposal submission should include a title and 100-word abstract. It should also include your name, your title within your organisation, address, phone number, and e-mail address.
