The ICCC (International Council for Computer Communications) in

Electronic Publishing to be held in Ronneby, Sweden 10-12 May 1999. The

The conference will be concerned with electronic publishing both for
specialist audiences and for the general public. There will be two
parallel tracks. The first track will include case studies,
presentations of projects and presentations of implemented electronic
publishing in public and scholarly libraries, publishers, museums, etc.
It will also include electronic provision of local community or tourist

concentrate on technical issues such as file formats, retrieval issues,
etc.

participants - especially between academics researching in the area, and

publishers and others
with practical experience. All papers are refereed to ensure high
quality.
