>followed by discussion of use of the Web as a reference information
>resource for humanities research. Emphasis will be placed on creating
>consistent and informative citations to bibliographic resources, including
>non-traditional resources such as online journals, websites and other
>web-published research. Participants will gain practical experience using
>EndNote bibliographic reference management software in order to simplify
>the acquisition and management of references, both using online reference

>how a computerised bibliographic database can be used as an effective tool
>for managing the research, and enhancing humanities research by improved
>access to, and retrieval of, information. By the end of the course,
>participants will have acquired basic competency with EndNote 4, enabling
>them to catalogue their own references as well as automate the citation
>and formatting process during writing.

U.K. Seminar on Content-Based Image Retrieval
July 6, 2001: University of Northumbria, Newcastle upon Tyne
July 20, 2001 University of Manchester
<http://www.cbir.org.uk/seminar/>http://www.cbir.org.uk/seminar/
This announcement for a two-part seminar on Content-Based Image Retrieval
(CBIR) serves as a reminder of the UK's JISC project on CBIR and the
associated web portal on CBIR established jointly by the Institute for
Image Data Research, University of Northumbria, and the Manchester
Visualization Centre, at the University of Manchester.
<http://www.cbir.org.uk/>http://www.cbir.org.uk/
Retrieving images through features automatically extracted (such as color,
texture and shape) is a technology that is moving out of the laboratory and
into commercial products (Excalibur, QBIC and Virage). However, the CBIR
Portal indicates, there are still many unanswered questions: "such as
whether CBIR techniques can bring about worthwhile improvements in
performance with real-life image retrieval systems, and where such
techniques can most profitably be used."
Designed as an online resource on content-based image retrieval, resources
on the CBIR site "will provide links to current research and development
activities, algorithms and techniques, research groups and projects, faq's,
mailing lists, newsgroups, software and application demos as well as
related research papers, books, journals, and conferences."

With apologies for cross posting
Joint seminar by Institute for Image Data Research, University of Northumbria
and
Manchester Visualization Centre, University of Manchester
Seminar on Content-Based Image Retrieval
Friday 6 July, 2001, at University of Northumbria, Newcastle upon Tyne
10.00 - 16.30 hrs
Friday 20 July, 2001, at University of Manchester, Manchester
10.00 - 16.30 hrs
As part of a JISC funded project in Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR),
IIDR and MVC are pleased to announce that they will be running two free
one-day seminars on CBIR, in order to disseminate information about the
technology to the UK HE/FE communities.
The seminars are being arranged two weeks apart, to allow as many people as
possible the opportunity to attend at whichever venue and date suits them.
The seminars will bring together key representatives from the field to
discuss how leading edge technology can be used to extend digital image
collections as an information resource.
These seminars will be of interest to individuals and organisations who have
existing digital image collections or are in the process of creating a
digital image collection and who may want to consider extending the search
capabilities of their database with content-based image retrieval matching
features.
The general programme is given below and the specific programme for each
seminar date is available at
<http://www.cbir.org.uk/seminar/>http://www.cbir.org.uk/seminar/
<http://www.cbir.org.uk/seminar/> . Both seminars begin with an overview
of content-based image retrieval followed by two presentations on the
subject of content-based image retrieval software and its implementation.
After lunch attendees will have the opportunity to play with several
demonstration systems. Guest speakers have been invited for the afternoon
session to talk on the theme of content-based image retrieval from their
perspective as a user of image data, a developer and a researcher of the
technology. Guest speakers will differ at each venue. The seminars will
close with a questions & answers session.
The conference is FREE to delegates from Higher and Further Education.
The number of places is strictly limited and early booking is advised.
To register for either seminar, complete the online booking form at
<http://www.cbir.org.uk/seminar/register.html>http://www.cbir.org.uk/seminar/register.html

Please circulate this message to interested colleagues.
