Due to this lockdown status, Education Institutions are closed, and the Librarians confined to the empty Libraries and the students to their houses. The LIS Academy had earlier announced it's National Conference at the University of Hyderabad, Hyderabad, from 27-29 August 2020. Unfortunately, due to the mass spreading of pandemic COVID-19 disease across the country, the organizers have planned to organize a Virtual Conference from LIS Academy Studio on the same dates. Online Virtual LISACON-2020 The LISACON-2020 Conference will now be held in a Virtual Mode operated from LIS Academy. All the Conference's activities will be web-streamed, and the paper presenters will be allowed to present their papers from their places through Video Recording. The Conference Venue will be created with a studio. Only Plenary speakers and Panel Members will be invited for their physical presence.

Library professionals are eﬃciently serving the information needs of end-users by adopting new tools, techniques, and technologies from time to time. The advent of digital technologies has brought in disruptive changes in all spheres of the library. Today's library is less about what we have for users and more about what we do for users. Librarianship has to reinvent and reposition itself to achieve excellence. The librarianship needs to rethink innovative content acquisition models, out of the box thinking in extending library services, leveraging technologies, and new modes of reaching the user community. The LISACON-2020 theme "Reinventing Excellence in Librarianship" will focus on bringing best practices, success stories, case studies, and innovative research outcomes to a common platform.

by Temin Thomas 30 Jun '20

30 Jun '20

Libraries come in different shapes and sizes across the world. But Rajasthan has a treasure trove knowledge that is one of Asia’s biggest libraries. Having a collection of over 9,00,000 books and a seating capacity of 4000 people, this hidden gem of a library is Rajasthan’s answer to the UK’s British Library. Situated beneath a temple at the Bhadariya village of the Thar Desert region this is known as the Bhadariya Library. Its 16-feet underground location is indeed a goldmine for book lovers. So why travel abroad when you can go #Vocalforlocal and visit one of Asia’s largest libraries in Rajasthan! https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/travel/destinations/rajasthans-treasure… Regards, Temin Thomas MLISc Student (2019-2020), Rajagiri College of Social Sciences (Autonomous), Kochi- Kerala. teminthomas89(a)gmail.com -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
