Ten years after, the celebration of the second meeting will provide an excellent opportunity to reunite once again the international CDS/ISIS community, summoning information, computer science professionals, national and regional distributors, end users, partner organizations and all those interested in the "Family of CDS/ISIS software" who have contributed, throughout the years, to the democratic and equitable access to data produced or collected in thousands of institutions worldwide. In 1985 UNESCO marked a milestone in the scene of information processing with the launching of the CDS/ISIS software for personal computers. CDS/ISIS soon became one of the most widely used tools for information organization and retrieval, especially in developing countries. CDS/ISIS made and continues to make a substantial impact in different ways: a.. Initiating the process of automatization in thousands of libraries with the creation of bibliographical data bases with affordable costs. b.. Fostering, and in many cases, initiating, information literacy by means of the development of new capacities and abilities in information professionals. c.. Favouring the development of an important community of practice at international level, in the use of the program and the development of new applications. d.. Fostering collaborative work between professionals of computer science and library and information workers. e.. Facilitating the networking and sharing of information at national, regional and international levels. On the occasion of the 10th anniversary of its creation (1995), the "International Congress of CDS/ISIS" was organized in Bogot�, Colombia, where representatives of 40 countries from Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean and Europe were reunited in the Plenary Assembly, and signed the Bogot� Declaration: http://library.wur.nl/isis/declspa.html Deep changes have taken place since then, mainly because of the Internet and increasing globalization. At the same time, there have been other influences: the Free Software movement; the recognition of the need to promote multilingualism and the efforts towards universal access to public domain information in cyberspace, among others. The setting of the UN Millennium Development Goals and the declaration of the World Summit of the Information Society also contributed to a new environment in which the CDS/ISIS community will have to face new challenges. The accomplishment of the 9th World Congress on Health Information and Libraries (ICML9)/ 7th Regional Congress of Health Sciences Information (CRICS7), that will reunite thousands of information professionals, constitutes an excellent opportunity to celebrate, jointly, the 2nd World Congress on CDS/ISIS, a family of software which historically is a significant tool for the management of information and knowledge in numerous international communities and libraries. Adhering to the motto of the ICML9/CRICS7 "Commitment to equity" and on the occasion of the celebration of 10 years after its first world meeting and 20 years after the launching of CDS/ISIS, the moment is propitious to exchange experiences, to present new developments, to get to know new colleagues from different parts of the world, to evaluate the CDS/ISIS journey and construct a shared vision for the future. Time: 20 - 23 September 2005 Place: Salvador, Bahia, Brazil More information will soon be available on UNESCO CDS/ISIS page: http://www.unesco.org/isis I am also happy to inform you that Mr. Ernesto Spinak (Uruguay) is the official Secretary of the CDS/ISIS-W2.
