The Information Industry from a Global Perspective

The issues and developments shaping the information industry transcend country borders. Copyright infringement, the role of the Internet in information distribution, rising journal costs -- they affect information professionals across the globe.

The second conference of its kind, the first held in 1979, this Worldwide Conference on Special Librarianship will be attended by information professionals from around the world as well as companies serving the industry.

That is why your attendance at Global 2000's The Information Age - Challenges and Opportunities: Worldwide Conference on Special Librarianship is so important. You'll have the opportunity to play a part in discussions on issues that have global implications and to help shape the future of the information industry.
