PAPERS<br>
4th African Conference for Digital Scholarship and Curation<br>
'Innovation & collaboration in the digital research and learning
environments'<br>
<br>
Collaboration is an acknowledged and important source of innovative thinking.
The rapid development of new and emerging technologies have ensured that the
creation and pursuit of new ideas can be brought to community by networks of
individuals, selected because of their individual contributions and
credibility, and operating in a coordinated manner. This conference will
attempt to surface some of the innovations brought about as a result of such
collaborations. We will also endeavour to highlight the role technology
plays in enabling collaborations and in collectively building repositories of
data and knowledge.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'>The
deployment of powerful computers, high-speed networks, and large scale storage
technologies has made the academic and research landscape increasingly dynamic.
Emerging professional are much more information and computer literate than ever
before. They also have a very different expectation for both the
university and work experience. These transformations oblige us in academia,
research and the general information service provision industry to seriously
seek and develop strategies and solutions to effectively harness the new
opportunities. The 2-day conference is organized under the joint banner
of the Network of Data and Information Curation Centres (NeDICC), the
University of Botswana and the University of Pretoria (South Africa). The
conference will address various issues of digital scholarship, digital curation
and the accompanying emerging technologies. We are specifically also calling
for case studies and success stories.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
