Stellenbosch (50 kilometres from Cape Town). </span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#111111">In keeping with the main conference theme ("<em><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Dynamic Libraries: Access, Development
and Transformation</span></em>") the 2015 satellite meeting focusses on how library transformation is facilitated by the development of open technologies, which in turn enables open access to information and explicit knowledge structures.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

The library of today is made up of different digital components to create an environment which enables users to engage with information in a meaningful way. Most of these digital components are based on open systems and standards, without the information consumer
ever realising it. The debate has largely moved beyond the question of whether open technologies versus proprietary systems are the preferred solution for libraries, to the decisions on when and how to implement systems based on open standards. Even so,
efforts need to be stepped up to fully exploit open digital technologies in education and training systems to assist librarians to acquire new skills for a digital world.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
