DITCHE National Library-IT event 2007
Dates: 22 - 24 May 2007
Venue: NMMU Conference Facilities, Port Elizabeth.
The National Library-IT Event is a national gathering specifically for IT practitioners working in libraries in public higher education. Its purpose is to deepen and strengthen the bonds that exist within this community, by bringing people together once a year to talk, listen, share ideas, discuss experiences, plan collaborations, and learn from one another. There are no costs of attendance: travel and accommodation expenses are funded by TENET, and the only institutional commitment is the time and willingness of staff to share their experience with the rest of the community.
