Dear colleagues
May I introduce myself as a new subscriber. My name is Pieter du Plessis and
I am the appointed EDC librarian at the University of Stellenbosch, South
Africa. It is the only EDC in South Africa and one of only five in Africa.
From a geographical point of view alone, Eurotalk should prove to be a
useful tool to connect with fellow European information specialists.
Although we have received documents since 2001 the EDC service has only been
operational since May 2002. For the last few months I have sorted through
most of the backlog and with assistance from our cataloging department been
indexing and cataloging the documents.
I am currently constructing a marketing campaign to promote the EDC services
to our university users and public. This entails the designing of an EDC
webpage, consulting university faculties and advertising the EDC in the
local printed media.
If there is anyone who has had experience with marketing an EDC please
contact me.
