Conference Alerts
http://www.conferencealerts.com/
Conference Alerts brings together two groups of people - conference organizers, and academics who need to stay informed about conferences. We work with both small first-time conference organizers and established professional societies to ensure that notification of their conferences reach specifically interested parties. Both individual academics and a wide range of 'knowledge brokers' - such as journal editors, web site administrators and discussion list moderators - rely on our searchable online database and on Conference Alerts Monthly to remain informed about upcoming academic and professional events.
We are based in South Africa, but operate as a global organization maintaining an extensive, constantly updated database of conferences and subscribers all over the world.

1st Overseas Conf. on IT & Information Literacy
http://www.iteu.gla.ac.uk/itil2002/Net/
20-22 March 2002
We live in an age of escalating information-richness. Thus, the preparation of individuals to be effective information-users as students, employees and as citizens becomes an imperative. Up to now this situation has been viewed from two perspectives, that of computer/IT literacy (developing in IT service and academic contexts) and that of information skills/literacy (developing in library contexts). However, these two strands of thought and action are rapidly converging, especially in educational environments. This conference, the first International Conference on IT and Information Literacy, will consider the nature of these two strands and the implications of their convergence, and ask how those involved in the education process can take this development forward.
