About The Symposia
The unprecedented developments in the field of Information and Communication Technology and the rapid advancements in the internet technologies and services had a transformative influence on how information is accessed and disseminated throughout the world. The current transformation has facilitated access to enormous amount of information and a wide variety of services to enhance the use and delivery of such information. This has resulted in a disparity of information overload at one hand and information scarcity on the other especially because of the inability to exploit the advancements of technology. As new technologies and services are emerging, new challenges have started surfacing. These new challenges have pushed the library and the information professionals to be well equipped to face these challenges. While acknowledging the changes taking place in the mode and service of information delivery and usage, it is important that the library profession rediscover the need of the industry and the nation so that it can reevaluate its services, revitalize the users and reinvigorate the library professional. The future of the libraries and information centres depend on the information professionals to understand in-depth these emerging changes and equip them accordingly. In particular, they need to learn skills that allow them to find, manage, share and use information and knowledge. They need information literacy to supplement their information and management skills in order to upgrade their libraries and information centers as per the modern day.
