INTRODUCTION
For more than ten years ELISAD has played a major role in organising knowledge and information exchanges between the information and documentation centres in Europe. Due to the ELISAD activity many professionals now have an accurate vision of available information, know each other and have sometimes tried to elaborate technical projects on a common scale.

At the same time the EMCDDA has developed an ambitious information system, based both on the Reitox network and its internal departments work programme. This system serves to inform the scientific and the specialised professionals community in the European Union and world-wide.

The information goals, targets and methods must be systematically strengthen. The ELISAD meeting hosted at Lisbon by the EMCDDA provides a good opportunity to share knowledge and ideas on the information processes and to identify common needs and project works. How can the EMCDDA use the expertise of ELISAD and how can ELISAD members have a better collaboration in the framework of the EMCDDA?

In order to make this meeting fruitful for everyone, it is strongly required that each participant brings concrete information on his experience in the field and participates actively in the workshops: that can improve its own -  and other’s - goals and methods.

Thus the 1999 ELISAD meeting will be organised to provide enough time to communicate, through presentations, accurate information on ELISAD members projects and on EMCDDA programmes, but also to discuss and to compare our activity, at a professional level, during the workshops.

Please register quickly: the number of participants is limited to 50 persons this year!


For 10 years ELISAD has been rallying the main European information centres with the aim of developing co-operation between information officers and librarians in Europe.
