Four presentations are being made that morning:-


Nikki Crowster (CALICO) will be talking about the impact of mobile technology insinuating itself into our personal, professional and virtual lives, putting into context the impact on academic libraries,


while Mdu Ncongwane (UNISA) will be talking about how the UNISA Library Catalogue went mobile.


Mark Frier (CPUT) will talk about information literacy and first year engineering students,


while Celia Walter (UCT Libraries) shares her experiences with first year Psychology students.



The first three of these presentations were given at the LIASA Conference, as well as from the Internet Librarian Conference (London). It will be a good opportunity to network and share what is happening in our libraries. And of course, to celebrate the end of a very full academic year.
