Dear Colleague

I would like to draw to your attention to  our commemorative conference (see attached) being held on 27-28 November 2014. Founded as the School of Librarianship in 1939, the Library and Information Studies Centre (as it is known today) at the University of Cape Town, is the oldest LIS school in Africa. In 2014 this School celebrates 75 years of service to LIS education in Africa. It is appropriate then that the theme of the conference convened to commemorate this milestone, spotlights education as well as research in an evolving information landscape deeply penetrated by digital technologies.

The keynote address will be delivered by Prof. Herbert van der Sompel, a computer science specialist who is currently a global leader in research regarding digital aspects of scholarly communication. Herbert van der Sompel is currently the Team Leader of the Prototyping Team at the Research Library of the Los Alamos National Laboratory, USA.

Other speakers include: Prof. Crain Soudien (DVC, University of Cape Town) on curriculum issues; Dr Steyn Heckroodt from the Stellenbosch Business School on ‘what is change?’;  Prof. Tom Cochrane from Queensland University of Technology on open access; Dr Albert van Jaarsveld, CEO of South Africa’s NRF, on  research as a strategic initiative; Ms Joy Davidson from the Digital Curation Centre (UK) on research data management; Prof. Carol Tenopir from the School of Information Science at the University of Tennessee (USA) on conceptualising data, information and knowledge; and Prof. Stevan Harnad(Research Chair in Cognitive Science, Université du Québec á Montréal, Canada and Professor in Electronics and Computer Science, University of Southampton, UK) on technology as enabler.

Please join us for what promises to be an exciting and intellectually stimulating meeting as LIS/IS schools the world over seek to strategically locate their niche positions in a rapidly evolving and digitally oriented knowledge society. Please consult our developing conference website (http://www.lisc75.co.za) for more details OR do not hesitate to contact our Conference Convenor, Dr Connie Bitso (connie.bitso@uct.ac.za), should you require any further information. We look forward to engaging with you and/or your colleagues at this special commemorative event. Please be so kind as to share this notice with your colleagues.

Kind regards

Jaya Raju
