Join us at a cutting edge ICML 2000 Event! 

- step into the future of medical information...
  and help to shape it 

- why is genetics so important in research today? 

- what kind of information do researchers and 
  clinicians need, other than books and journals? 

- what role should librarians play in helping users
  access this information?
