Abstract
17th UKSG Annual Conference
Highlights
As delegates we were warmly welcomed by Albert Prior and at the opening Michael Day, UMIST Librarian, assured us that the conferencethemes would reflect the concerns of all those involved in the 'information chain'
Developments at the Instituteof Physics Publishing included the transmission of colour and mathematical displays
The success of electronicpublishing as a serious and viable channel of scholarlycommunication is probably not in doubt, but I am sceptical about the level of support within the academic community especially given the pressure researchers are under to publish in prestigiousjournals
Summary
Weare pleased to publish the report submitted by Steven McDonald which summarises the various aspects of the Conference. The perennial problem of attempting to meet growing demand with diminishing resources was addressed by Sheila Cmall who argued that the problem has been compounded in recent years by the proliferation of electronic sources which have altered the parameters of collection management. The theme of Wednesday's papers was electronic communication and we were given insights into its many and varied forms.
