The 17th ELAG (European Library Automation Group) Library Systems Seminar took place at Graz, Austria from 14 to 16 April 1993. The theme ‘The Virtual Library’ attracted 110 members from more than 20 European countries. Compared with last year 20 per cent more delegates attended, compared with two years ago the growth was 80 per cent. Most of the members, especially the newcomers, were pleased with the amount of information on practical experience and accurate knowledge exchanged during the meeting. The sudden expansion did not at all harm the enthusiasm and activity of the members. The novices quickly adapted to the particularities of ELAG's organisation.
