Greetings to RLC librarians

I am excited to be part of the October academy and looking forward to Mount Fleur, and to meeting other colleagues from other institutions and most of all to learn from experts. Thank you to both Colin and Karin for the informative roadshow. Regards

Our first meeting!

Hi Everyone, We have just had our very first meeting of the new intake of RLC Academy Librarians from Stellenbosch, Rhodes and UCT. It was great meeting you all and I look forward to meeting the other colleagues from Wits, UP, UJ and KZN.

I am the branch librarian at UCT's Hiddingh Hall Library. My subjects are Fine Art, History of Art and Drama. I recently rejoined UCT after 10 years during which time I was a Systems Librarian for Calico and Ex Libris.

Regards,

Solvej

Hi all

I am very delighted to be part of this research community and I am eagerly waiting to meet all of you in October.This is a much needed experience for me as a Faculty Librarian and I am sure it will be very rewarding. I look forward to the lessons I will learn as well as the growth in the skills that I am offering to the University of Johannesburg.

Hi to all the Library Academy Participants

I'm happy to join everyone at the Library Academy in October 2010. I'm looking forward to a wonderful and enriching experience in Stellenbosch.

Hello to the RLC Librarians

I'm very happy to be included in the RLC Librarians' community and am looking forward to the Research Academy in October and meeting everyone.

I'm the Subject Librarian for Historical Studies, Film and Media Studies, Education, Librarianship and Social Development, based in the Humanities Information Division at UCT Libraries.

I run a number of blogs for some of my subject areas (Historical Studies, Film, Media, and Education) as well as a blog for the Humanities Library. Don't always get the chance to blog as often as I would like, though!

I am also involved within the wider LIS community - currently chair [and have just been re-elected] of the Western Cape Higher Education Libraries Interest Group of LIASA; and manage the national Higher Education Libraries Interest Group listserv.

Update: The Western Cape LIASA Branch AGM was held this morning (17/08/2010), and I am now the incoming Chair of the Branch!!
