-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
German-Dutch University Conference
INFORMATION SPECIALISTS FOR THE 21ST CENTURY
Hanover, Germany, 14-15 October 1999
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
http://Conference99.fh-hannover.de/

The conference is organized by the Department of Information and 
Communication Science, Fachhochschule Hannover, Germany, 
and the Information Services and Management Programme, 
Hogeschool IJselland, Deventer, The Netherlands, to celebrate 10 
years of co-operation.

We like to take this opportunity to critically look at our work and at 
our responsibilities as lecturers, keeping one objective in mind: to 
educate highly qualified specialists in the field of information and 
communications science and prepare them for the 21st century.

We kindly invite all colleagues, at home and abroad, and all 
professionals active in this field to celebrate with us the anniversary 
and to join the discussion on the future of information specialists 
and the impact that practical work has on the course of studies.

The core questions of the conference will be:
- What contents, methods and aims are relevant for the education 
of information professionals?
- What kind of education is required to meet the demands of a 
rapidly changing structure of professions and jobs?
- What kind of skills and abilities are required by employers?
- How can the professional field be involved in the educational 
process? 
- How can we, as lecturers, establish the kind of interest that 
makes our students take an active part in the learning process?
- How can we implement a long-life learning process course of 
studies? 
- Moreover, what kind of impact will internationalization and 
international degrees have?
These are only a few questions, but many others await an answer.
