  ABOUT THE WORKSHOP  The enormous growth of information and advances in technology have brought about a sea change in collection, organization and dissemination of information. IT has provided greater challenges to the libraries, both in storage technology as well as in dissemination mode. Capabilities for digital storage of archival resources and presently available variety of information resources in different digital forms have indeed contributed to the easy access of variety of resources from different corners of the globe. Even remote libraries need to necessarily think of developing digital resources, so as to access different kinds of resources for their users at low cost. In the light of  different options available for providing better access to information resources to the users, Librarians need training in use of open software. Thus this workshop intended to provide training in use of Information Technologies in Library and Information Science work.
