Kgomotso has served in many university-wide committees, which included the Computer Steering Committee, Library Committee, Senate, and UB Council. She has served as Chair of the Ad Hoc Task Force on Student Academic Dishonesty at UB – a task force set up by the Deputy Vice Chancellor Academic to explore the extent of academic dishonesty amongst students and make recommendations on ways to address it. She has also represented the University in her professional service by participating in a number of initiatives aimed at encouraging the use of Information Communication Technology (ICT) for development such as the development of an ICT policy for Botswana (MAITLAMO) in 2004. She was co-chair of the health commission in the 2nd World Information Technology Forum (WITFOR) conference that took place in Gaborone in 2005. She participated in a Telemedicine feasibility study that was spearheaded by the Botswana Technology Centre (BOTEC) in 2005/2006. Together with information professionals at UB, she helped found the Children’s Information Trust in 2004, which aims to encourage the development of libraries in primary schools in a bid to facilitate development of information literacy skills of primary school children in Botswana.
