10th Stellenbosch University Library Symposium: 200810th Stellenbosch University Library Symposium: 2008<h3>​<span style="color:#660033;"><strong>Shall the twain ever meet?: supplying the demand in an academic library and information service environment​</strong></span><br style="color:#660033;"><span style="color:#660033;">​6-7 November 2008</span></h3><br>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:<br><br>Shall the twain ever meet?: supplying the demand in an academic library and information service environment.<br><br>It is anticipated that this event would see the gathering of national and international researchers and practitioners to engage discourse on:<br><br>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.<br><br>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.​<br><div><p><br></p><h2 style="text-align:center;"><span class="ms-rteThemeForeColor-5-0" style="">Programme</span><br></h2><table class="ms-rteTable-2" cellspacing="0" style="height:1201px;width:100%;"><tbody><tr class="ms-rteTableEvenRow-2" style="text-align:center;"><td class="ms-rteTableEvenCol-2" colspan="2" style="width:100%;height:76px;"><p><strong>Day 1 : Thursday, 6 November</strong><br><strong>SESSION 1</strong><br>Chair: Ms Ellen Tise <br></p></td></tr><tr class="ms-rteTableOddRow-2"><td class="ms-rteTableEvenCol-2" style="width:55%;height:35px;"><p>​Welcome and Opening​​​<br></p></td><td class="ms-rteTableOddCol-2" style="width:45%;height:35px;">Prof Arnold van Zyl (SU: Vice-Rector Research)​​<br></td></tr><tr class="ms-rteTableEvenRow-2"><td class="ms-rteTableEvenCol-2" style="width:55%;"><p>​​Keynote address ​<br></p></td><td class="ms-rteTableOddCol-2" style="width:45%;">​Mr Chip Nilges (Vice President for Business Development at OCLC)<br></td></tr><tr class="ms-rteTableOddRow-2" style="text-align:center;"><td class="ms-rteTableEvenCol-2" colspan="2" style="width:100%;height:60px;"><p><strong>SESSION 2</strong><br>Chair: Prof Stephen Mutula<br></p></td></tr><tr class="ms-rteTableEvenRow-2"><td class="ms-rteTableEvenCol-2" style="width:55%;height:52px;"><a href="/SiteCollectionDocuments/Symposia/2008/Heckroodt.pdf">Commercial supply and demand metrics and librarianship – courtship or affair?</a><br></td><td class="ms-rteTableOddCol-2" style="width:45%;height:52px;">Mr Steyn Heckroodt (SU Business School - General Management, Competitive Management for Entrepreneurs)​​<br></td></tr><tr class="ms-rteTableOddRow-2"><td class="ms-rteTableEvenCol-2" style="width:55%;height:67px;">​​<a href="/SiteCollectionDocuments/Symposia/2008/Motau.pdf">Supply and Demand in Academic Library and Information Service Environment:Business Case – Academic Libraries in the Knowledge Management Value Chain</a><br></td><td class="ms-rteTableOddCol-2" style="width:45%;height:67px;">​​Mr Sej Motau ( Chairperson Sabinet  Board of Directors)<br></td></tr><tr class="ms-rteTableEvenRow-2"><td class="ms-rteTableEvenCol-2" style="width:55%;height:33px;">​​<a href="/SiteCollectionDocuments/Symposia/2008/Man%20Jacobs.pdf">Meeting Changing Demands - The Effect on the Supply Side</a><br></td><td class="ms-rteTableOddCol-2" style="width:45%;height:33px;">​​Ms Diane Man & Robert Jacobs (Swets)<br><br></td></tr><tr class="ms-rteTableOddRow-2"><td class="ms-rteTableEvenCol-2" rowspan="1" colspan="2" style="width:100%;height:38px;">​Discussion<br> ​</td></tr><tr class="ms-rteTableEvenRow-2" style="text-align:center;"><td class="ms-rteTableEvenCol-2" colspan="2" style="width:100%;height:51px;"><p><strong>SESSION 3</strong><br>Session Chair: ​Dr Judy Henning<br></p></td></tr><tr class="ms-rteTableOddRow-2"><td class="ms-rteTableEvenCol-2" style="width:55%;height:52px;"><a href="/SiteCollectionDocuments/Symposia/2008/Britz.pdf">​The free flow of free information?
