Abstract:

Papers presented at the first seminar on information searching presented in the Merensky Library Auditorium, University of Pretoria, on 14 September 2017. The seminar was organised by the Department of Library Services’ (DLS) Library Technical Services Unit. The aim of the seminar was to address challenges related to developments in open access information; evolving interest in commodities such as data and patents; changing information seeking behaviour of information users; challenges related to the newly implemented cloud based WorldCat Discovery tool on the OCLC WorldShare Management Services platform. A number of experts participated in the seminar programme which was compiled to address different aspects related to information searching and aiming to facilitate the sharing of ideas, techniques and methods to assist in more efficient, effective and productive information retrieval.
