are pleased to announce two- day
Library and Information Professionals Summit 2014
“From Brick to Click: Transforming Libraries
into Social Spaces”
on Friday-Saturday, 7-8 February 2014 at New Delhi, India
Conference Theme
With
the emergence of distributed forms of information in a double click
environment, the role of physical libraries have changed considerably
over the last ten years, to reflect changes in the nature of education.
The importance of collaboration, group work and communication in
teaching and learning are widely recognised and the central role of the
library as a repository of facts and information is changing. While it
is still important to have this kind of resource, it has proven to be a
diminishing draw in terms of library traffic.
The
notion of transforming libraries into social and cultural spaces is an
expansive role for the future library not only serving as an information
resource, but much more, with the exact mission and goals evolving and
changing over time. A culture-based library is one that taps into the
spirit of the community, assessing priorities and providing resources to
support the things deemed most important. Libraries are in a unique
position to experiment with creative spaces so the future role of the
library can define itself. Since the role of the library 20 years from
now is still a mystery, libraries need to put their heads together to
scratch the surface of many more changes to come and determine what
ideas are drawing attention and getting traction.
The conference aims to address the main issues of concern within the framework of this transformation.
Program Structure
The
