INFORMATION ECOLOGIES:
The impact of new information 'species'
2-4 December 1998
Viking Moat House Hotel, York
---------------------------------------
The arrival of the Internet expands our information landscape with many
new sets of ecological niches. At first we can expect these to be
colonised by our existing information 'species': journals, magazines,
textbooks, monographs, paintings, maps, movies and so on. We already know
how to deal with these and can expect to apply the same principles in the
new environment. However, we have also seen totally new information
species appearing such as: home pages, subject gateways, multi-media and
continuous publication journals, e-zines and e-prints. We can expect many
mutants to appear before the ecologies stabilise. There are new forms of
life here too in the networked learner, as well as ancient crustaceans
struggling to adapt.
This conference, organised by the Electronic Libraries (eLib) Programme
and UKOLN, will look at the impacts of these new information ecologies on
libraries and universities today, at the nature and economics of some of
these new information species, and at how we should plan in order to cope
with our new environment in the future. Such issues will be addressed with
particular reference to the experiences of eLib projects, set in the wider
context of the international community.
In the pleasant environment of York, this international conference with a
range of distinguished speakers is an event not to be missed by the
discerning information ecologist! The conference has been designed to
immediately follow the SCONUL autumn meeting in the same venue so that
delegates can conveniently attend both if they wish.
