Call for Papers: VTU is organising a National Conference on “Redefining Libraries in Electronic Age, At VTU, Belgaum
by Dr.K.R. Mulla 24 Aug '13

24 Aug '13

Dear Sir/Madam, I am happy to inform you that, VTU is organising a National Conference on “Redefining Libraries in Electronic Age”, in the last week of November, 2013. At VTU Campus, Belgaum. The role of Library and Information Centers in the present era is ever changing and the traditional services have taken a new shape in the light of the Information Technological developments. Physical locations for ease of access to Library resources no longer an issue. Now Libraries are facilitating their users with 24/7 access using Internet Technology. Today physical use of libraries is declining drastically and most of the Librarians are expressing their concern over this development and are feeling insecure due to fall of user attendance in Libraries. This need not be the concern of Librarians. Today the users are techno-savvy and access more information than the earlier users. The libraries used to supply limited reference resources to their users earlier, but today’s users will get multiple resources on their fingertips. Hence the concern for Librarians of these days should be to redefine the role of Libraries in reaching the right information to the right user at right time. Hence a National Conference has been organized to provide a platform for discussing the following main issues: *Conference Theme: Redefining Libraries in Electronic Age * *Sub Themes:* *1. Redefining the organization of knowledge* a. Classification b. Cataloguing *2. Redefining the Information sources and services* a. Information sources and services b. Electronic sources and services *3. Redefining the management of library and information centers* a. Planning b. HRM & HRD c. Financial management and budgeting d. TQM e. Knowledge management f. Leadership and Public relations & Advocacy *4. Redefining the IT applications used in libraries* a. Library Automation b. Digital libraries c. Networking d. The digital tsunami *5. Redefining the User Education* a. Information Literacy b. Computer literacy c. Digital literacy *6. Redefining the information society and information science* a. Dr.S.R. Ranganathan’s school of thought b. Relevance of Five Laws of Library Science *7. Redefining LIS education* a. LIS as an Applied science b. LIS curriculum c. Collaboration of Library and LIS departments d. Library as a laboratory for LIS education *Who can Participate?* Library and Information professionals working in academic institutions, R & D Centers, Corporate and Public Libraries. *Important Dates* * * Paper Submission Deadline : 30-09-2013 Notification of Acceptance : 10-10-2013 Early bird offer for Registration : 25-10-2013 *Participation Fees (Early Bird Registration)* Library Professional : Rs. 500/- Students of LIS Schools : Rs. 300/- *Participation Fees (Registration After Deadline)* Library Professional : Rs. 750/- Students of LIS Schools : Rs. 500/- *Accommodation:-* Accommodation will be provided on request on VTU Campus. *Publication of Conference Volume:* Conference proceedings will be published with ISBN Number: 978-81-924696-0-7 Please use this email for further communication on Conference: krmulla(a)vtu.ac.in -- *Dr. K. R.
