CIDOC/mda 1999 Conference

Delivering Diversity Promoting Participation

6 - 10 September 1999,Imperial College, London

Building on the 1998 mda Cultural Grid Conference and the seminal
international work of CIDOC, the joint mda/CIDOC Conference in 1999
will focus upon audience. Answers will be sought to pressing questions
faced by those across the cultural sector, including museums,
libraries and archives: What is the cultural content required by our
diverse audiences? In what ways can we reach new and traditionally
excluded audiences? How is the process of communication, as well as
the dissemination of information, ensured? What are the information
and quality standards needed to drive forward the audience-focused
agenda?

Proposals are sought for innovative and thought provoking papers from
educators, information managers and strategists which will stimulate
debate well beyond the conference itself. The closing date for
proposals is 26 February 1999. Please send provisional title and a 100
word abstract together with your contact details to Frances Bycroft,
Conference Co-ordinator, mda at the address below.
