Dear Colleagues,
As you will be aware, the 8th International Conference on Medical Librarianship is taking place in London in July 2000.
Even if you have taken the decision not to come to ICML itself.. there is a wide range of excellent study days and CE courses available before the conference itself all at reasonable prices. Take this chance to hear some leading speakers and enhance your continuing professional development.
Details and registration forms for the varied Continuing Education
Programme, which will take place immediately before the Conference,

Program and Registration materials are posted the Web at http://www.slice.gsm.com. This meeting is designed to fill a specific niche. The focus is on multimedia, technology and healthcare education. The group will look at new trends and tools as well as new applications, standards, directions and uses. The first two days consist of full or half day pre-workshops, most of which are hands on. The final 2.5 days are presentations, demonstrations, breakout sessions and interest groups. The group size is limited in order to avoid concurrent sessions and to encourage interactions and networking. Materials can be viewed on the Web or the acrobat pdf file can be downloaded and printed.
After June 1 the registration fee goes up and the workshop limit of 250 paid registrants may have been reached. Don't be disappointed. Be sure you reserve a place in the pre-workshops (optional and additional) and workshop as well as one of the hotel rooms. The program submissions this year look exciting. There are 27 brief auditorium presentations, 73 computer demonstrations, 15 posters and 16 breakout session.
The early bird registration fee is $295 for the meeting and includes lunches, breaks, nightly hospitality suite at the Marriott University Park Hotel and a buffet evening dinner at the Red Butte Gardens Arboretum. The meeting concludes with a grand extravaganza Saturday afternoon and evening in the Wasatch Mountains. The adventuresome may want to partake of a 5 day rafting trip on the Yampa and Green Rivers in Dinosaur National Park. Contact me for more information or questions.
