The International ISBN Agency leaves Berlin
The International ISBN Agency is moving from its headquarters at the State Library of Berlin. The move follows a decision by the Prussian Cultural Foundation to discontinue its support for the agency. The agency's new home will be London. From April this year EDItEUR, the international body that develops and promotes book trade standards, will take over responsibility for the day-to-day running of the agency. For further information, please contact Brian Green [brian@bic.org.uk].

Seminar by the April inCite interview subject, Louis Rosenfeld
As a graduate student in library and information studies in the late 1980s, Lou became convinced that the skills of librarians were grossly undervalued - in the coming information explosion, who else would organise, classify and label information? He went into information architecture, became a guru, and is offering a seminar in Sydney (28 February) on information architecture for managers, information architects, designers, and other web professionals who desperately want to tie together content in a rational, user-centred way, regardless of content ownership issues, cultural hurdles, and turf battles. Read his story in April's inCite.
