[Lib-helig-l] Tempting Tuesday Read on MOOCS

Dear Colleagues

Another hot topic in HE Library circles are MOOCS.

Here's a link to an article in the Australian Academic & Research Libraries on MOOCS and the challenges for Academic Libraries.  

Australian Academic & Research Libraries (2013): MOOCs: The
Challenges for Academic Librarians, Australian Academic & Research Libraries, DOI:
10.1080/00048623.2013.821048


Abstract:-
Over the next few years, librarians at many Australian universities will participate in the creation of local Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). This article aims to prepare librarians for this task. It begins by summarising the development of the MOOC concept and then moves on to review the growing literature on MOOCs and
librarians. It concludes by looking at possible developments relating to copyright.


The journal is published by Taylor and Francis at this link.  

Kind regards
Ingrid Thomson

Dear Colleagues

It's official - LIASA has been awarded the bid to host the 2015 IFLA World Library and Information Congress in Cape Town from 13-21 August 2015! This is indeed a momentous decision for LIASA, its members and the broader library and information services (LIS) sector in South Africa and the African continent.

This will be the 3rd Congress to be held on African soil - Nairobi (1984), Durban (2007) and now Cape Town in 2015! We believe that this is an opportunity to showcase our libraries, best practices and the impact of the profession on the development of the country and the continent.

On behalf of the Executive Committee and the Representative Council, I'd like to convey our appreciation to the IFLA Governing Board for entrusting their confidence in LIASA to host the 2015 Congress. There was strong emphasis on the collaborations and partnerships between LIASA and key national stakeholders such as the National Council for Library and Information Services (NCLIS), Department of Arts and Culture, the National Library of South Africa and other library institutions in the region. These relationships are critical for the way forward towards a successful Congress.

I would like to acknowledge Ms Naomi Haasbroek, Immediate Past President and the previous Executive Committee for taking the bold step in submitting this bid; Scatterlings and the Western Cape Convention Bureau for their involvement in the preparation of the bid documents and the subsequent site visit. To the current LIASA leadership, the work begins now! It will be important for us to ensure that we come up with the best and brightest ideas that will enable the library world to have an unforgettable experience in South Africa in 2015.

Best regards
Ujala
