DATA FRONTIERS IN THE INFOSCAPE

The 23rd annual conference of the International Association of Social
Science Information Service and Technology, IASSIST, is to take place
in Odense, Denmark, on May 6-9, 1997. The conference will be held in
conjunction with IFDO, the International Federation of Data Organizations.

IASSIST is an international organization of professionals who are
engaged in the creation, acquisition, processing, documentation,
maintenance, distribution,  preservation and use of machine readable
social science data. IFDO is an international organization of institutions
in the same field. The IFDO/IASSIST'97 conference will bring together
researchers, data producers, archivists and data archivists, librarians
and data librarians.

The title of the conference, "DATA FRONTIERS IN THE INFOSCAPE,"
challenges us to examine issues at the forefront of information technology
on the Information-Superhighway, the Info-bahn.

sessions, or poster sessions and demonstrations on many aspects of the
