SCECSAL 15TH STANDING CONFERENCE 2002 - PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS
Date:	17-20 April 2002
Location:	Johannesburg, South Africa
Comments:	The Library and Information Association of South Africa (LIASA) is hosting the next biennial Standing Conference of Eastern, Central and Southern African Librarians (SCECSAL) in Johannesburg. Ellen Tise, President of LIASA, extends a warm welcome to library and information professionals in Africa and outside the continent to attend this important event.  Pre-SCECSAL Conference activities will take place on 15 and 16 April 2002. More information about SCECSAL registration and accommodation will be sent out soon.  To be held at the Caesar’s Gauteng Hotel Casino and Convention Resort, Kempton Park, Johannesburg, South Africa The SCECSAL Conference will again be preceded by the Standing Conference of African National and University Librarians in East, Central and Southern Africa (SCANUL-ECS) from 15 to 16 April 2002. Information about SCANUL-ECS will be sent out separately.  CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS FOR PAPERS, WORKSHOPS AND POSTER SESSIONS  SCECSAL CONFERENCE THEME: From Africa to the world – The globalisation of indigenous knowledge systems Rural communities in Africa have a profound and detailed knowledge of their livelihoods and local ecosystems which have become codified as indigenous knowledge systems (IKS). Since all societies exist in a world of ecological processes and environmental events, the classification of local data and the structuring and transmission of that knowledge so that it can be used by as many people as possible, is crucial for group survival. Indigenous knowledge is relevant for inter alia the agriculture, land policy, forestry and wildlife preservation of rural communities – both the members of those communities and those engaged in development projects. In developing countries, there are three major types of knowledge: the modern and scientific (expert) knowledge; traditional (people’s) knowledge; and new knowledge which is a blend of the expert and people’s knowledge. The tendency has historically been for Western systems to supersede indigenous systems. However, rural people with their detailed interactive knowledge of their environments are experts in their own right. As the global village expands to even the remotest rural communities, the international sciences (also know as international knowledge systems) need to take cognisance of the role of IKS for sustainable resource management. IKS generate important information which should be recorded, documented and made accessible for local communities, the wider African community and the global information community. The SCECSAL local arrangements committee invites submissions for papers, workshops and poster sessions on the following IKS sub-themes:  SUB-THEMES - Defining indigenous knowledge - Global challenges, local solutions: lessons from practical experiences - Management of indigenous knowledge: collection, organisation, preservation, dissemination - Indigenous knowledge and emerging challenges for information professionals - Globalisation and localisation: strategies for sustainable development  - Local information, global access: the role of the Internet in the spread of indigenous information and knowledge - Indigenous knowledge and information technology - Research of indigenous knowledge systems - Indigenous knowledge and intellectual property - Indigenous knowledge as a product in the corporate environment - Protection of multi-cultural, multi-lingual communities and the threat of mono-culturalism DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS: 15 May 2001 ABSTRACTS Abstracts may be submitted for papers, workshops or poster sessions. Abstract submissions must be limited to one (1) single A4 page. Submissions must be submitted by e-mail, fax (preferred) or ordinary mail. * PAPERS: Paper sessions are organised in 90-minute time blocks with three (3) papers per session, and include 10 minutes for questions/discussions per paper.  * WORKSHOPS: Workshops are offered either as part of the pre-conference activities or the regular programme.

Workshops should involve audience participation and sharing of practical skills. * BEST PRACTICES POSTER SESSIONS: Best practices poster sessions are intended for practitioners to inform conference delegates about best practices and research in their fields by highlighting effective programmes and practices, relevant practitioner-oriented research, and strategic policy developments across all areas of IKS information systems.
