Topic: Libraries and Librarianship in Changing Environment: Challenges and Issues ABSTRACT Library and Information Service profession is one of the most challenging professions in the knowledge society. Librarians face complex challenges posed by recent trends in Information and Communication Technology. The role of the Library professional has become more dynamic and challenging in the modern world. Recent technological advances have changed the work of librarians and researchers. The increased availability of electronic resources, including electronic databases and journals, has changed the way library users interact with libraries. Librarians have had to keep current with a variety of new resources and implement support mechanisms for these resources. There are various new fields evolving apart from the existing ones. The librarians of today have to manage old resources as well as scale up to the upcoming technologies to manage and maintain their new digital domain. The future of librarians as information providers is not in a dazzling building, but in the world of cyberspace that resides in the hand-held devices of most library customers, and as an indispensable partner in the local and world communities. The aim of this colloquium is to provide a brief knowledge on the recent trends in Libraries and Librarianship.

The conference aims to address the main issues of concern within WWW/Internet as well as to assess the influence of Internet in the Information Society. Broad areas of interest are Internet Technologies, Information Management, e-Society and Digital Divide, e-Learning, New Media and e-Society, Digital Services in e-Society.
