Re: IASSIST 2002 Conference
Hello,
Has anyone attended this conference in the past? Would it be useful for a
person interested in learning more about archives, electronic data, and user
assist, but who is at the beginning stages?
thanks for any replies,
Lucy

> Conference Theme
> "Accelerating Access" is a theme that characterizes the ever-increasing
> demand for quantitative and qualitative data through the Internet. Our key
> goal as data providers is to ensure user communities can gain access to
> and effectively use quantitative and qualitative resources. The
> conference this year will focus on the capabilities both of Internet
> technology and of the wider data community in providing support to and
> partnering with the research and education infrastructure. The influence
> of evolving web environments for data producers, data archives, data
> libraries, and end-users will be a key area of exploration. The
> conference will include papers on collaboration between data professionals
> and researchers in metadata dissemination and in integration projects,
> particularly those that have evolved from emerging standards for
> describing data and documentation. We will also examine the legal and
> political barriers to web-based data access, and the role of virtual data
> access in new and emerging economies.
>
> Workshops
> A full day of workshops will precede the conference. Workshops fill up
> quickly, so early registration is advised. Workshops cover: Developing a
> GIS Data Services Program; An Introduction to Arcview; Finding, Evaluating
> and Using Numeric Data; and DDI in Action: the Innovative Data Library
> using Nesstar Knowledge Products.
>
> Additional Information
