Opening address

Abstract

I am grateful to Lord Ezra for inviting me to address the Annual Conference of the Association for Information Management (Aslib). Given my ministerial responsibilities I have spoken to many audiences on the subject of information technology and its importance in improving the efficiency and competitiveness of all sectors of the economy. The members of this particular audience do not, of course, need the importance of the IT revolution pointed out to them. Indeed, I am conscious of the valuable contribution which Aslib members have already made, in their own right, and through the Confederation of Information Communication Industries (CICI), in promoting the perception of information as a key social and industrial resource.
