BÓKASAFNIÐ 32. ÁRG. 2008 19
Lokaorð
Í tilefni af hálfrar aldar afmæli kennslu í bókasafns- og
upplýsingafræði við Háskóla Íslands stóð skorin fyrir
viðamiklu fyrirlestra- og ráðstefnuhaldi bæði á eigin
vegum og í samvinnu við aðra. Alls voru það 15 við-
burðir. Þeim fjölmörgu sem lögðu sitt af mörkum á
afmælisárinu er þakkað: Fyrirlesurum og fundarstjór-
um, ljósmyndara, starfsfólki á skrifstofu félagsvísinda-
deildar og síðast en ekki síst öllum þeim sem tóku frá
tíma til þess að mæta á afmælisatburðina. Atburðirnir
voru jafnan vel sóttir og mæting yfirleitt á bilinu 50
til 100 manns. Á afmælisárinu sýndi sig hversu miklu
fæst áorkað þegar starfsstétt bókasafns- og upplýs-
ingafræðinga og bókasafns- og upplýsingafræðiskor
taka höndum saman.
