Dear Professionals/ LIS Teachers, 1. Irrespective of whether you are a delegate for LTC2019 or not , please have a look at the Conclave Website at ltc2019.com to know how qualitative it is in terms of theme and sub-themes, resource persons, program structure, awards, round table and more importantly SPARK (Session for new thoughts by delegates) and many more. 2. The program is very relevant to LIS and other TEACHERS. We may have to add few aspects of eLearning including LMS (Learning Management Systems) in to our MLIS Syllabus. 3. We need to arrange more and more Seminars/Conferences on eLearning as we did for Digital Library. Already our profession is looked down by administrators of Academics and Research. We need to prove relevancy and importance of LIS in the changing scenario. 4. After seeing the details, I am sure everyone, especially LIS Teachers and Librarians will feel that they would miss good opportunity. If you feel so why delay, please register for LTC2019.

When it comes to keeping a journal, stereotypes of Sweet Valley High and Napoleon Dynamite quickly come to mind; "Dear diary" is reserved for the high-school sweetheart or awkward recluse. Others see writing merely as a tool, a pragmatic means to an end, certainly without value in and of itself. But science continues to dissolve skepticism. For those sitting on the fence, these 10 benefits of journaling will convince you to start writing.

While a simple solution is to update current business technology to the latest and greatest, business leaders quickly find that this is not a sustainable practice in the long run. The solution for most enterprises is to introduce a digital transformation strategy, which, in turn, is posing a direct threat to traditional business models and companies. Technologies such as social media, mobile applications, analytics, the cloud and the internet of things (IoT), have been successful in attracting and keeping talent and customers. But, it goes beyond changing technology — company culture needs to change. When we asked a number of C-Suite executives what they thought would be trending in the digital workplace over the coming year, 10 trends emerged, many of which had already been identified at the beginning of 2018 as disruptors. Full Post <https://www.cmswire.com/digital-workplace/10-trends-that-will-shape-the-dig…> *Ten reasons to be optimistic in 2019* Even the optimists among us would have to admit 2018 was a challenging year. The fractured world that became the focus of our 2018 Annual Meeting a year ago came under further pressure from populist rhetoric and rising nationalist agendas. At the same time, the urgent need for coordinated global action in areas such as climate change, inequality and the impact of automation on jobs became more intense. It might be easy, then, to take a dim view of our world’s prospects in 2019. But the new year brings opportunities, too; opportunites that - through a combination of innovation and responsible leadership - have the potential to make our societies stronger and our world more sustainable. Some of these opportunities have been made possible by the World Economic Forum’s platform for public-private cooperation. Building on the progress made in the past 12 months, here are some of the bright spots for the year ahead.

Don’t Be A Victim Of Cyber Scams!* Cybercriminals are constantly looking for ways to make money at your expense. Individuals and organisations often fall prey to frauds that involve various forms of social engineering techniques, where the information required is garnered from a person rather than breaking into a system. These scams are typical examples of how cyber attackers can easily play on people’s psychology and perceptions. The tips provided here are aimed to help you protect yourself.

And whereas many of these highlight huge advances in research (some of which get a nod in our breakthroughs of the year), a lot are simply cool stories that resonated with us, our readers, or both. And that’s what this list focuses on—some of our coolest and most popular online news stories of the year. It’s an eclectic mix, and you’re sure to find at least a few you’ll want to read—or read all over again.

With further sightings of drones, Gatwick only reopened to limited service after a 36-hour interruption, and those responsible for operating the drone remain at large.

For starters, three solar eclipses will occur this year. The first one, a partial solar eclipse, happens in Capricorn on January 5 or 6, depending on where you live. This event will occur between Saturn, the planet of structure, and Pluto, the planet of transformation. And, since this eclipse occurs in go-getter Capricorn, we'll feel compelled to focus our collective attention on our work lives and ambitions. If you’re planning on starting a new business and following a new career path, meditate during this eclipse before moving forward with your plans. We will have our first lunar eclipse on January 20 during a full Leo moon, which will leave us feeling emotional and raw. This lunar eclipse will give us a chance to reflect on how we are seen in the world and how we think about self-presentation. Our second total solar eclipse occurs on July 2 in Cancer, while the second lunar eclipse of the year occurs in Capricorn on July 16 . This particular eclipse will sextile with Uranus, making it a much more lighthearted than 2019's first lunar eclipse. You may find that you want to change who you spend your time with — you may even wish to branch out and find a whole new community. Come winter, we'll have an annular (ring-shaped or total) solar eclipse in Capricorn on December 26. This eclipse will put work back on our brains, highlighting any work habits that need adjusting. Jupiter, the planet of luck, will square against Neptune, the planet of dreams and idealism, three times this year — and they haven’t squared against each other since 2006! Watch out for high expectations and overspending around January 13, June 16, and September 21. If hope is hard to come by on these days, relax and remember that challenges arrive in order to teach us important lessons. And that's only scratching the surface of 2019's celestial activity — read on to find out what’s in store for your sign.

Now, the oldest members of the next generation, Gen Z, are beginning to enter the workforce, and employers will need to adjust their approach yet again.

Dear Professionals,      I fully agree with Mr.Baiju Joy regarding the Appointment of Director of Inflibnet. In our library and information field majority of professionals are lacking professional as well as general knowledge. To crown this situation, our professionals are very poor in communication skills.
