Digital technology enables new ways for libraries to deliver their services : is this making life easier for the customer?

The aim of this meeting is to take advantage of the opportunity to meet overseas members who will be attending the FIAT Conference and to encourage greater links with fellow members from FOCAL France, Germany, Belgium and any other European states who are able to attend.

All members are welcome though we may be limited to 50 attendees.

The only direct costs will be travel and food for those able to make it a "day trip".

All those interested to contact the FOCAL Int Office : Anne Johnson or Julie Lewis - anne@focalint.org
