Host: Department of Library and

Venue: University of Botswana
Call for papers
You are cordially invited
to submit a paper to the 3rd Biennial DLIS Conference to be held from 17-19
April, 2019 in Gaborone at the University of Botswana Conference Center. The
theme of the conference is “Information and Knowledge Management: Towards the Attainment
of Sustainable Development Goals and Knowledge Based Economy”.
Of late, Sustainable Development
and Knowledge-Based Economy are two global priorities that are highly debated
at each forum of development. Knowledge-Based
Economy is key to Sustainable Development. The knowledge-based economy refers
to an economy in which growth is dependent on the quantity, quality, and
accessibility of the information available, rather than the means of
production. In the knowledge based society, sustainable development should be
attained through creation, generation and application of new knowledge.
The 2019 Biennial DLIS
conference aims at discussing the whole spectrum of records, information and
knowledge management that will help individuals and organizations to be at a
competitive edge in the global knowledge economy and be able to achieve the Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs).
This conference will be a platform
and opportunity for researchers, industrial practitioners, academia,
information scientists, librarians, archivists and innovators to share their
experiences in diverse aspects of records, information and knowledge management
including innovation knowledge solutions. The conference will further provide
an excellent interdisciplinary forum to discuss the most recent approaches,
concerns and practical challenges at all stages of the knowledge lifecycle.
All submitted papers will
be subjected to double-blind peer review process. We are working towards
indexing the proceedings in Google Scholar, Scopus and Thomson Reuters. All
participants will be given a certificate of attendance and a copy of conference
proceedings.
