New Dates for SCECSAL XIX Conference

Dear Colleagues,

The organizing committees of SCECSAL and SCANUL-ECS have consulted and agreed on a change of date for the SCECSAL and SCANULECS conference from September 2010 to December 2010. The decision to change the date of the conference is informed by a number of factors, specifically:

Difficulty in sourcing funding from sponsors
High registration fees for SCECSAL/SCANUL-ECS given the current financial constraints for both sponsors and participants, and
Difficulty in finding reasonably priced venue and accommodation for the conference.

The consultative meeting agreed to find a cheaper venue which will result in lowering the registration fee to attract a large number of participants. Such venue will only be available during the 1st week of December from 3rd to 9th 2010.

Based on the above the SCECSAL and SCANULECS organizing committees would like to issue a joint communiqué to its general membership and paper presenters to announce that SCECSAL/SCANULECS conference will take place from 3rd - 9th December 2010. The dates will run as follows:

3rd to 5th December 2010 - SCANUL-ECS conference hosted by [Botswana] university institutions in Botswana together with the Botswana National Library Service (BNLS) being the eligible members, according to SCANUL-ECS constitution.
3rd to 5th December 2010 - Pre- conference workshops.
6th to 9th December 2010 - SCECSAL Conference hosted by Botswana Library Association (BLA) together with local institutions.

The conference venue is University of Botswana.
