The Stellenbosch University Library and Information Service takes pleasure in announcing its Tenth Annual Symposium which will take place from 6-7 November 2008 at the JS Gericke Library in Stellenbosch. The theme for this year's symposium is:
Shall the twain ever meet?: supplying the demand in an academic library and information service environment
It is anticipated that this event would see the gathering of national and international researchers and practitioners to engage discourse
on:":
The fundamental tenet of librarianship has not changed: the clients' (that is, the users) demand for information still remains one of the founding principles of librarianship and the libraries' role of supplying (or satisfying) the demand is even more critical in the current information explosion era. However, the exponential growth in information has meant that libraries continuously re-engineer themselves
to meet the corresponding exponential demand for information from traditional subscription sources and digital sources via changing technologies.
Rising subscriptions, rapidly evolving technology, new paradigms and a new generation of researchers and research methods are posting new challenges when supplying the demand. All of these challenges must be viewed against the backdrop of new avenues of accessing new information platforms.
Cost: R1100-00 per person (full symposium), R550-00 per person (one day)
Registration opens: 1 September 2008
