The 2005 IASSIST Conference (International Association for Social Science Information Service and 
Technology) is being held in association with IFDO (International Federation of Data Organisations) 
at the Holyrood Hotel in Edinburgh, Scotland from Wednesday 25th to Friday 27th May, hosted by 

Edinburgh University Data Library & EDINA.

The conference, which takes place in Europe on a rotating basis, is relevant to data  managers, creators, 
and users, as well as librarians and other information professionals who now have responsibility for 
providing support for the use of research data, especially in the Social Sciences and other observational 

disciplines.

The conference will include plenary sessions, parallel sessions, a poster session and workshops. 

See http://datalib.ed.ac.uk/iassist/programme.shtml

workshops on Tuesday 24th May. (Conference attendance not required - 

see http://datalib.ed.ac.uk/iassist/workshops.shtml for descriptions.) 

A weekend in the Scottish Highlands will follow the conference for those wishing to add to their ex-
perience of Scotland and network further with delegates.
