IASSIST '97: Denmark Conference Agenda and Registration (fwd)

Fri Mar 28 09:08:17 EST 1997

Greetings web-4-lib'ers!

This is a conference announcement that may be of
particular interest to our European members (and 
others "across the pond"!)

It is looking very interesting.  The deadline is
coming up, so if you are interested in attending
you might want to act soon.

(P.S. Note the conference planners have a very
useful website with the program, etc).
