[LIS-Forum] LibTech Award Nominations Invited

[Ishwar Goudar]

Dear Professionals,
LibTech Award – Nominate Your Library – Present Case Study – Submit Your
Paper - Participate in Opinion Pole in the Selection Process



Libraries are increasingly technology empowered.  Judicious and insightful
Investment in technologies are major strategic decisions as the rate of
change and obsolescence with technologies are too high.



Sharing knowledge gained and best practices followed

in implementing technologies is a useful practice.  To promote this sharing
practice, we introduced in LTC2018 an exclusive session on. “Technology
Empowered Libraries:  Cases Studies in Best Practices” which is continued
in LTC2019.  This 90-minute session is an exciting part of the Conclave as
it carries LibTech2019 award instituted since last LTC.



1.      Libraries are invited to send their nominate for this session.  (Please
visit the Conclave website – www.ltc2019.com for details).



2.      A committee of five juries lead by Dr. Marshall Breeding, an
internationally recognized library technology review expert (
https://librarytechnology.org/), will evaluate the nominations to select
the best ten of them.



3.      The ten best selected nominations will be invited to: (a) present
the technologies implemented effectively in their libraries in an exclusive
session on Technology Empowered Libraries in the Conclave; and (b) submit
an authored paper also on their technology empowered library as a
case-study which will be published in the Conclave proceedings.



4.      The presentation will be observed and reviewed by the members of
the Jury.  Additionally, all the delegates attending the Conclave will be
invited to rate the presented case studies.  The Jury will take into
account average of this rating with certain weightage in the process of
selection for LibTech2019 award.
