The UK's Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) has announced that global library cooperative Online Computer Library Center, Inc. (OCLC) will be the main sponsor of its 6th annual conference. The conference, scheduled for March 23-24, 2009, will be held in Edinburgh.
The conference will showcase how JISC is enabling further and higher education institutions to enhance the students' learning experience, provide greater access to digitalised resources and gain from the expertise of the organisation's services. It will also feature discussions, debate and most of all, hands-on experience of technology which is bringing to life research, teaching and learning within higher education.
Both organisations are engaged in national and global collaborative efforts to ensure education and research communities can meet their agendas and shape future service delivery. Delegates who attend the conference this year will benefit from tailored 1:1 networking opportunities while those not able to attend in person will be able to be there virtually through blogging, webinars, podcasts and online conferencing.
