SA VETERINARY AND PARAVETERINARY CONGRESS 7-11 JULY 2008, Sun City
THE LIBRARY WAS THERE!
Erica van der Westhuizen
The Veterinary Science Library once again participated in this biannual event by sharing the Faculty’s exhibition stand. This important occasion in the veterinary calendar is an opportunity for marketing the library’s services and products to veterinary practitioners. With CPD now compulsory for practitioners the library plays a role in helping with the earning of points. We run an electronic monitoring system, keeping a record of the articles requested by veterinarians who have enrolled for our contents pages service.
Antoinette Lourens and Erica van der Westhuizen promoted the Library Services the first 2 days of the conference, and were followed by Tertia Coetsee and Marguerite Nel for the next 2 days.
We were kept very busy as most of the attendees visited the exhibits. There was no time for us to attend any of the lectures unfortunately, as we had been able to do at past conferences. (No time for gambling either!)
We hope that all the contacts made and information communicated about how the library can help practitioners to keep up-to-date will result in an expansion of our “external” market, for the benefit of animal health in South Africa.
