[Fis] Concluding the Lecture

[Pedro C. Marijuan]

Dear FIS Colleagues,

February is well advanced, and it is time to put a definite end to the 
New Year Lecture. We have had a very interesting discussion time, though 
rather silent in these final days. It was nice counting with Terry 
chairmanship, he has had a very hard work with all those 
responses--thanks a lot to him. Thanks are also due to Bob Logan for his 
implication in organizing the Lecture and to the Pirates thought 
collective for their participation. 

In the next session, in ten days or so, we will approach the global 
phenomenon of intelligence: artificial and natural, rational and 
emotional, scientific and artistic, East and West... let us wait and see.

Also, hearing from  Ken Herold on Library Science and from Moises Andre 
on interaction between disciplines was sort of a nice surprise: the 
connection between the traditional approach and the new one becomes a 
highly strategic goal for information science. Maybe it is one of the 
topics we have to address in a specific discussion session. Moises, 
Ken--does it sound interesting?

Best wishes to all

--Pedro
