Abstract
The main part of the conference consisted of 18 formal presentations (see Annex 1 for the complete programme).
Four were on general topics, giving perspectives of some important developments in the UK and
the complex and changing cost modelling issues which concern us all. The other presentations described a
varied sample of specific projects.
The projects cover a range of subjects; they are grouped under the following five headings:
- the development of electronic journals (exploring the multitude of cost, technical and organisational
questions they raise)
- teaching and learning initiatives (demonstrating some of the approaches which can be used inside and
outside the academic community)
- management and service issues (exploring the relationships between information science and other
disciplines, and describing an adventurous proposition for new services)
- networked information discovery and retrieval issues (examples of projects in implementation and research
on futures and trends)
- specific technical concerns (describing a novel model for networked scholarly communication, and, in
complete contrast, explaining how networked information can encompass administrative systems)
