4th African Conference for Digital Scholarship and Curation
Dates: 17 -19 May 2011
Venue: CSIR International Convention Centre, Pretoria, South Africa
'Innovation & collaboration in the digital research and learning environments'
Collaboration is an acknowledged and important source of innovative thinking.
The rapid development of new and emerging technologies have ensured that the
creation and pursuit of new ideas can be brought to community by networks of
individuals, selected because of their individual contributions and
credibility, and operating in a coordinated manner. This conference will
attempt to surface some of the innovations brought about as a result of such
collaborations. We will also endeavour to highlight the role technology plays
in enabling collaborations and in collectively building repositories of data
and knowledge.
The deployment of powerful computers, high-speed networks, and large scale
storage technologies has made the academic and research landscape increasingly
dynamic. Emerging professional are much more information and computer literate
than ever before. They also have a very different expectation for both the
university and work experience. These transformations oblige us in academia,
research and the general information service provision industry to seriously
seek and develop strategies and solutions to effectively harness the new
opportunities. The 2-day conference is organized under the joint banner of the
Network of Data and Information Curation Centres (NeDICC), the University of
Botswana and the University of Pretoria (South Africa). The conference will
address various issues of digital scholarship, digital curation and the
accompanying emerging technologies.
