*BACKGROUND*

Automation and digitalization of libraries has a topic of past decade and
both of these are considered as a must for any library today. What is
currently trending and emphasized upon is innovative practices adopted by
libraries globally those attract and bind the users to the library.

Some libraries talk about more and more technology adoption; RFID
technology, mobile-apps for providing user services; reaching to the
patrons at their doorstep, opening library kiosks i.e. to bring library
services to the users. Others talk about innovative library facilities
aspect that include being knowledge partner rather than a resources
provider only; continually training and guiding the users in using library
resources.

Facilities also include developing facilities for differently abled
sections of the users. Another aspect of innovative practices in libraries
includes innovation in resources development and procurement. This aspect
encompasses again technology aspect as well as order on demand or pay per
view procurement and so on. Innovation in staff management and overall
management of library and its operations are some other important
dimensions. New technology and methods are adopted by various libraries for
efficient and timely delivery of their services to users.

Publishers are also using innovative technologies in producing and
providing contents to the libraries. Rather than just books or journals,
they are developing interactive and comprehensive learning modules where
one can learn at his/her pace; can judge the performance or understanding
levels and so on. Innovation in libraries also include introducing new
services that directly appeal to users and as per their changing
requirements.

Innovation is not static and new innovative practices keep evolving as per
change in users’ needs, technology and resources. Innovation is a continued
journey.

Keeping the above aspects in mind, Management Libraries Network in
association with Jaipuria Institute of Management, Noida is organizing an
International Conference on “Innovation in Library Technology, Services and
Resources - Current Trends in Libraries Globally” on 15-16 September, 2017
