Subject: STAFF DEVELOPMENT: ELECTRONIC LIBRARY: CONFERENCE 2ND ANNOUNCEMENT
This message is being sent to several lists and I apologise for any cross
postings.
NEW TRICKS? Staff Development for the Electronic Library
Bournemouth University Library & Information Services Conference (BULISC '96=
)
27-29 August 1996.
STAFF DEVELOPMENT FOR THE ELECTRONIC LIBRARY
Until now attention has been rightly concentrated on the technical
underpinning of the electronic library. Vital to the next stage of
exploitation,
dissemination and propagation, however, is the development of staff.
We are therefore staging the first major UK conference to provide an overall
view of the staff development issues and challenges facing a profession
committed to embracing the digital library.
The Conference:
*brings you speakers who have played major roles in placing the electronic
library, and the importance for it of staff development, at the top of the
profession's agenda;
*offers a unique opportunity to hear reports on the progress of all five eLi=
b
projects concerned with staff development;
*highlights the responses of other major providers including library schools=
,
and training co-operatives;
*offers an evening's sail along the beautiful Dorset coast.
Audience
The Conference is aimed primarily at senior managers and training officers;
however all with an interest in the electronic library or staff development
including library school staff, students and researchers will benefit from
attending.
Although the emphasis is on the UK experience, last year's Conference,
'Routes to Quality', attracted an international audience, with delegates fro=
m
Australia, Italy, Japan and South Africa.
Location
Bournemouth is a premier holiday resort and international conference
centre, with excellent shopping and entertainment facilities. The town is j=
ust
100 miles from London and its airports, well-served by the main road and rai=
l
networks.
Bournemouth University is one of the newer Universities, occupying an
attractive campus of modern, easily accessible buildings. Residential
accommodation is provided in the Student Village, in new purpose-built
houses comprising single study bedrooms and common living areas.
