Why attend?
The SANLiC virtual conference is a platform for academic and research library leadership to focus on electronic information resources that form the fundamental pillar for research, teaching and learning in the digital dispensation. While for decades libraries have been acquiring e-resources, Covid-19 compelled immediate virtualisation of library operations and services; instantly, the business had to be conducted electronically. Acknowledging the diversity of our user communities, disparities in the capacity of various academic and research libraries in South Africa and on the African continent, it is fundamental to reflect and share the encounters and opportunities in our different contexts as we conduct business electronically. The impetus for the discourse on Business e-Usual: Contexts, Encounters and Opportunities is a culmination of embracing the current realities in various contexts, reflecting on the challenges from a resilient perspective, with a positive attitude towards a sustainable future in different framings. It is envisaged that the discourse will take cognizance of user information behaviour and needs; collaborations and strategic partnerships; open access transitioning; librarians’ critical skills and competencies; and explore digital disruptions and opportunities in the ecosystem.
Registration fees
Delegates are encouraged to register under the banner and associated benefits of an institutional registration, open to all universities, research institutions and vendors (publishers and agents). Once an institution registers, they will pay a single institutional registration fee which will incorporate the following benefits:
- The right for all their staff and students to register for the conference at no further cost. Individuals will however, be required to register in order to secure attendance access at the conference as well as post conference access to conference material.
- A virtual exhibition stand should they wish it, to showcase their work, products and services. The exhibition stands will be accessible via the exhibition hall. Delegates will be incentivised to visit the stands.
Delegates who are unable to register under an institution, either because they do not belong to one or because their institution did not register, may register as individuals.
