International Conference of Future of Libraries: From Promises to Practice- second Announncement
by M.Krishnamurthy 12 May '17

12 May '17

Dear Friends, Second Announcement International Conference on Future of Libraries: From Promises to Practice(ICFL) 15-17 November 2017 For better or worse, libraries are part of the fabric of society. They cannot survive and thrive as alien bodies or, to use the language of systems theory, as closed systems with impermeable boundaries. The mission of academic libraries is to support research, education, and scholarship. Historically, libraries have supported this mission by organizing and providing access to information, special collections, and creating physical spaces for collaboration and scholarship. While the broad mission of academic libraries is largely unchanged, transformations in technology, media, and culture are driving fundamental changes in the production and consumption of information and the practice of scholarship. As a result, academic libraries are rethinking their strategies and services to meet the challenges of the digital world and the demands of the born digital generation. Libraries, in particular, are confronting these challenges as the nature of scientific practice is being dramatically transformed by information technologies. Promises and Challenges for Libraries The promises include the following: the potential for new scientific discoveries that are possible only through large-scale, computational analyses; a new era of transparency and replicability in scientific methods and results; and the potential for widespread democratization of scientific research, given the increasing ubiquity of open access data sources and protocols. However, hidden in these examples are several challenges for universities and their libraries. Libraries are increasingly being asked to play a leadership role in helping universities capture and organize their intellectual assets, such as faculty publications, student dissertations, project reports, and scientific data sets. To understand how libraries will change by the mid-21st century, people need to understand what function they currently serve. At their core, libraries in the information age provide a public means of accessing knowledge. The hallmark of future libraries, meanwhile, will be hyper-connectivity. They'll reflect our increasing reliance on social media, streaming content, and open-source data. The objective of the conference is to create a platform for exchange ideas of the library community related to current trends. Therefore, this conference will keep you updated and make it stimulating and enlightening experience. Call for Papers: General areas of interests include, but are not limited to, the following topics: Knowledge Management/ Information Management >From Meta Data to Data Semantic web and linked data Open Access and Open Science Ontologies and knowledge organization systems, networked information Applications of digital libraries Subthemes: Digitization of Science and its Impact on Libraries Digital Preservation and Access Management Big Data Applications Use of Web-based Library Services Social Media (Research Gate, ORC IDetc.) Submission Guidelines Full papers (12 pages), must be written in English and submitted in PDF format. All submissions will be reviewed on the basis of relevance, originality, importance and clarity in a peer single-blind review process. Original Papers on the theme and sub-themes are invited.
