- This paper informs the Spanish information and documentation professionals on a new tool called IweTel. It is the first permanent electronic communication teleconference in Spain on Information and Documentation. Launched in November 1993 by the journal INFORMATION WORLD EN ESPAÑOL, IweTel is supported by Swets & Zeitlinger, an editorial and subscription management company based in the Netherlands. The technical infrastructure is provided by SPRITEL, a telematic network of value-added services. IweTel is a discussion forum in which participants place their messages in a common mailbox, which is accessible to all service users. To participate online in the forum users connect to Euskom, the SPRITEL email and teleconference system, through Internet, X.25 or Switched Telephone Network. Moreover, the conference has an associated listserv email that can deliver messages via the Internet to any mailbox anywhere in the world. In IweTel there are discussions on a variety of topics: news about databases, experience with the CD-ROM, networks, library automation packages, curricula, scanning documents, status of information professionals, meetings, seminars, conferences, jobs, or any other kind of personal reflection on our work area. The following pages describe the operation and development of this teleconference during their first months of life. According to the authors, this type of service can be an important stimulus to facilitate electronic communication within the Spanish information and documentation community. Finally we present the IWE Directory of Spanish librarians and information experts.
