6th Stellenbosch University Library Symposium: 20036th Stellenbosch University Library Symposium: 2003<div><h3>​​​<span style="color:#660033;"><span style="color:#660033;"><span style="color:#660033;"><strong>The cost of information: Who Pays the Ferryman?</strong></span></span></span></h3><h3> <span style="color:#660033;"> <span style="color:#660033;">30 - 31 October 2003​​</span></span></h3> <br>Academic libraries have become expensive entities and authorities struggle to provide the necessary funding to maintain balanced and up-to-date library collections. The fluctuating value of the South African monetary unit, price increases and the format in which electronic full-text information is being packaged and offered to libraries by publishers, all contribute to the problem.<br><br> <p>Library cooperation in obtaining national site licenses still has a long way to go and does not provide significant financial relief. At this symposium these issues, as well as alternatives for traditional scientific publishing, will be discussed by experts in the field of library management, by suppliers and by publishers.<br><br>Librarians and information professionals, educators and publishers are invited to attend this symposium and to bring their own views, questions and contributions to the discussion table.<br><br></p><h2 style="text-align:center;"> <span class="ms-rteThemeForeColor-5-0">Programme​</span></h2></div><div><table class="ms-rteTable-2" width="100%" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr class="ms-rteTableEvenRow-2" style="text-align:center;"><td class="ms-rteTableEvenCol-2" colspan="2" style="width:100%;"> <strong class="ms-rteThemeForeColor-2-0">Thursday, 30 October<br>SESSION 1 : WELCOME & KEYNOTE ADDRESS</strong><br>Chair: Prof Hennie Viljoen</td></tr><tr class="ms-rteTableOddRow-2"><td class="ms-rteTableEvenCol-2" style="width:55%;">Welcome<br></td><td class="ms-rteTableOddCol-2" style="width:45%;">​Prof Estian Calitz, Executive Director Finances, University of Stellenbosch<br></td></tr><tr class="ms-rteTableEvenRow-2"><td class="ms-rteTableEvenCol-2" style="width:55%;">​Keynote address:<br><a href="/SiteCollectionDocuments/Symposia/2003/Chanowski.pdf">Information access in the virtual scientific environment</a>​<br></td><td class="ms-rteTableOddCol-2" style="width:45%;">​Prof Michael Chanowski, Medialab, The Netherlands<br><br></td></tr><tr class="ms-rteTableOddRow-2" style="text-align:center;"><td class="ms-rteTableEvenCol-2" colspan="2" style="width:100%;"> <strong class="ms-rteThemeForeColor-2-0"> <span>SESSION ​​​2​ : PERSPECTIVES ON THE COST OF INFORMATION​</span></strong><br class="ms-rteThemeForeColor-2-0"><span class="ms-rteThemeForeColor-2-0">Chair: Mr Johan Engelbrecht​</span><br> </td></tr><tr class="ms-rteTableEvenRow-2"><td class="ms-rteTableEvenCol-2" rowspan="1" style="width:55%;">​<a href="/SiteCollectionDocuments/Symposia/2003/McPherson.pdf">Pricing and paying for scientific information d​​uring a period of transition</a><br></td><td class="ms-rteTableOddCol-2" rowspan="1" style="width:45%;">Ms Madeleine McPherson, University of Southern Queensland, Australia<br></td></tr><tr class="ms-rteTableOddRow-2"><td class="ms-rteTableEvenCol-2" rowspan="1" style="width:55%;">​<a href="/SiteCollectionDocuments/Symposia/2003/Luijendijk.pdf">To collect or to connect</a><br></td><td class="ms-rteTableOddCol-2" rowspan="1" style="width:45%;">​​Mr Wim Luijendijk, Ebsco, The Netherlands<br></td></tr><tr class="ms-rteTableEvenRow-2"><td class="ms-rteTableEvenCol-2" rowspan="1" style="width:55%;"> <a href="/SiteCollectionDocuments/Symposia/2003/Tsebe.pdf">The cost of information: a university librarian’s perspective</a><br></td><td class="ms-rteTableOddCol-2" rowspan="1" style="width:45%;">​Mr John Tsebe, University of the North, South Africa<br></td></tr><tr class="ms-rteTableOddRow-2"><td class="ms-rteTableEvenCol-2" rowspan="1" style="width:55%;">​Discussion<br></td></tr><tr class="ms-rteTableEvenRow-2" style="text-align:center;"><td class="ms-rteTableEvenCol-2" rowspan="1" colspan="2" style="width:100%;"> <span class="ms-rteThemeForeColor-2-0"> <strong> <span>SESSION 3 : STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS</span></strong><br><span>Chair: Ms Joan Rapp​ </span></span></td></tr><tr class="ms-rteTableOddRow-2"><td class="ms-rteTableEvenCol-2" rowspan="1" style="width:55%;">​​<a href="/SiteCollectionDocuments/Symposia/2003/Jordan.pdf">Strategic partnerships: An international view​</a><br></td><td class="ms-rteTableOddCol-2" rowspan="1" style="width:45%;">​Mr Jay Jordan, OCLC<br></td></tr><tr class="ms-rteTableEvenRow-2"><td class="ms-rteTableEvenCol-2" rowspan="1" style="width:55%;"> <a href="/SiteCollectionDocuments/Symposia/2003/Veldsman.pdf">​The South African Site License Initiative</a><br></td><td class="ms-rteTableOddCol-2" rowspan="1" style="width:45%;">​Ms Susan Veldsman, SASLI<br></td></tr><tr class="ms-rteTableOddRow-2"><td class="ms-rteTableEvenCol-2" rowspan="1" style="width:55%;">​<a href="/SiteCollectionDocuments/Symposia/2003/Kemp.pdf">Strategic partnerships: The role of Sabinet</a><br></td><td class="ms-rteTableOddCol-2" rowspan="1" style="width:45%;">​Mr Gerhard Kemp, Sabinet<br></td></tr><tr class="ms-rteTableEvenRow-2"><td class="ms-rteTableEvenCol-2" rowspan="1" colspan="2" style="width:100%;">​Discussion​<br></td></tr><tr class="ms-rteTableOddRow-2" style="text-align:center;"><td class="ms-rteTableEvenCol-2" rowspan="1" colspan="2" style="width:100%;"> <span class="ms-rteThemeForeColor-2-0" style=""> <strong>Friday, 31 October</strong></span><br class="ms-rteThemeForeColor-2-0" style=""><span class="ms-rteThemeForeColor-2-0" style=""><strong>​​SESSION 4 : WHO PAYS THE FERRYMAN?
