Hints for the electronic librarian: Internet World International 1995, 16–18 May, London, UK

Abstract

The latest Internet World International Conference, and the first to be organised by Learned Information since the company acquired the event off the previous organisers, Meckler, took place at Wembley Conference Centre, London from 16–18 May. Clearly, the clue to the theme of the conference is in its title — the Internet — and if we wanted to heap acclaim on the event, its organisers, its exhibitors and its attendees, we could go on for ever. It was generally agreed that there has never been anything like the Internet for information distribution, which hopefully is not telling readers of The Electronic Library anything new. So what came out of it that is actually of interest to TEL? Most of the discussion mentioned below centred around electronic publishing. However, what follows is really applicable to any sort of activity interested in providing a service and staying in business, including electronic librarians.
