UK PubMed Central (UKPMC) Workshop - February 4th 2008:
Few people would argue that good communication is the lifeblood of good science - and the Web is opening up a whole new world of possibilities.UK PubMed Central is ideally placed to make the best use of new Web technologies and new ideas in semantics and text mining and so to facilitate sharing of the biomedical and health research literature.
We are entering the next stage of developing UKPMC into an innovative and useful resource for UK researchers. We want to ensure that your needs and ideas are heard and incorporated at the outset and to this end we are holding a free one-day workshop on the 4th February 2008.
If you have an interest in helping us shape this vision, then please register for this free workshop. Places are limited - so respond today to reserve your place.
