This is the JANET USER GROUP FOR LIBRARIES (JUGL) first
residential conference and it will be building on the success of
the 1989 Annual meeting, held at Imperial College, London.
 
JUGL represents the interests of libraries to JANET, the UK Joint
Academic Network established in 1984 by the Computer Board for
Universities and Research Councils.
 
A full programme has been planned for the three day Conference and
there will be papers and workshop sessions to appeal to those
working in a wide range of libraries and information services. 
The themes of the conference will be the role of networks in the
delivery of a variety of information services and the development
of Open Systems.
 
The Conference will include
 
*    substantial papers on:
     OSI, UKOLN, the wired-up campus, networking and hypertext,
     open library systems, computer-based learning......
 
*    short contributions on:
     NISP, the EC Plan of Action, JANET futures, campus request
     services, OSI and inter-lending, CD-ROM networking, X-500
     Directory services.
 
*    demonstrations of networked information services:
     LASER/PICA/SUNIST, NISP, NISS, CURL, American Campus OPACS
     and databases....
 
*    Introductory sessions to JANET.
 
                                                                            
The Conference will provide a lively social atmosphere, with late
bars available on both evenings.  Tuesday evening will be devoted
to the taste and sound of Scotland, with a Scottish banquet
followed by a Ceilidh with Scottish country dancing.
