The Joint Information Systems Committee and the Coalition for Networked
Information will be offering a workshop "Working Together: A Planning
Retreat for Directors of Library/Information/Computing Services" on 14 and
15 June 1997 at the University of Warwick, Coventry.
It will be held on the two days immediately prior to the main
JISC/CNI/BLRIC/CAUSE/CAUL international conference "Beyond the Beginning:
The Global Digital Library" on 16 and 17 June at the Queen Elizabeth II
Conference Centre, London.
The workshop will provide an opportunity for a small number of
institutional teams of librarians and information technologists, or
individuals from any institution, to develop techniques to increase the
effectiveness of collaborative efforts and to begin a planning process for
collaborative projects. This will be the first time that this workshop
will be offered, and it is targeted to reach senior administrators of
library/information/ computing services. You are invited to register for
this workshop and we hope that you would have both something to gain and
something to contribute by your attendance.
The workshop aims to integrate efforts to support the overall information
resources and services mission for the entire academic institution. By
providing opportunities for senior administrators of libraries,
information services and computing services in higher education
institutions to work together in a common enterprise directed toward a
shared future, the JISC hopes to advance progress in this area. Many
institutions have institutional programmes in which teams of individuals
from the library and computing centre are working collaboratively to
develop campus information resources and/or deliver campus information
services. Those institutions who do not have such collaborative
relationships often would like to develop them.
This workshop will be an intensive, participant-oriented event, using case
studies and a variety of participative techniques. Participants will be
asked to complete a form in advance of the workshop identifying their
background and aspirations.
