are pleased to announce two- day
Library and Information Professionals Summit (LIPS) 2014
“From Brick to Click: Transforming Libraries into Social
Spaces”
on Friday-Saturday, 7-8 February 2014
at South Campus, Delhi University, 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
conference program will include plenary sessions, invited and contributed
papers, poster sessions, product presentations, panel discussions and an
