Running wild , running free :

Capturing, harnessing and disseminating knowledge flows in support of animal health

The 5th International Conference of Animal Health Information Specialists (5ICAHIS) will bring Information Specialists from both developed and developing countries together to share knowledge and expertise in the critical animal health information field.

As digital libraries become a reality and Internet sources proliferate the role of the Information Specialist has become more crucial in the effective access of relevant information. How libraries are trying to harness electronic/digital data will be a major theme of papers – as it was at the 4th conference in Budapest in 2003.

This conference will also look at the way the role of the Information Specialist is being redefined or reshaped by new forces in the clients’ information environment.
