[Sigiii-l] FW: ASIST Panel

[Bowen, Aaron]

Hello everyone in SIG/III,

A quick request from SIG/DL -- if you know a digital librarian in Africa
who would be interested in presenting on a panel about digital libraries
in an international context, please contact me or Dr. Fatih Oquz.  The
panel description is attached.  We would love to get an additional voice
to present on digital libraries from an African perspective.  Thanks in
advance!

> I am working on an panel for ASIST on International implementation of

> Here is the brief abstract:
> 
> This panel will present an overview of adoption and implementation of
> digital library software/platforms and standards with an international
> perspective. Decision factors in adoption of particular
> software/platform and standards will be reviewed. Impact of
> organizational, social, and cultural factors will be highlighted.
> 
> I have two questions for you:
> 
> 1- This is a SIG/DL sponsored panel and we'd love to have SIG/III as a
> sponsor too.
> 
> 2- Wallace Koehler is helping me to find a contact in Africa. If it
> doesn't work, should I email SIG/III mailing list or can you
facilitate
> finding someone from Africa. May be Abebe can help, though I haven't
run
> this idea with him yet.
> 
> Let me know.
