The Programme for the event.
The aim of the meeting is to update delegates on the UKOLN work, and to stimulate dialogue about this important area of activity. Project representatives from 1st round RSLP projects will talk about their experience, the issues they have had to address, and the approach they have adopted. The meeting will be open to all, but representatives of RSLP projects undertaking description of collections are particularly encouraged to attend.
Before the event, participants are encouraged to access information on the RSLP collection description work undertaken by UKOLN at their website. Participants may also be interested to read an article co-written by Andy Powell in the September 2000 edition of D-Lib Magazine.
