Report on the Second International Conference on the Application of Microcomputers in Information, Documentation and Libraries, Baden‐Baden, Federal Republic of Germany 17–21 March 1986

This conference was sponsored by Unesco, and organisations involved with information and documentation in West Germany. Although papers on many applications were presented, Unesco had funded a pre‐conference seminar on the uses of microcomputers in information work in developing countries, and this was a theme which re‐appeared during the conference itself. Whilst over 300 delegates from 53 countries attended, all papers were presented and will be published in English.
