Hello again from Bill Buick! Judging from the volume and international
distribution of requests for registration materials, the conference is
going to be a fantastic opportunity to exchange information about
developments in museum automation.  If you are a member of The
International Council of Museums, you will receive registration
materials. If you are interested in becoming a member of ICOM, please

New Development: because Vice President Gore is such a strong
proponent of automating research and education organizations, the
conference planning committee has invited him to deliver the keynote
address.  They received a letter from his schedule coordinator
advising us that the appearance is under consideration.  I'll let you
know as soon as I do about his decision!
