Re: [LIS-Forum] Are we able to maintain the quality of International Conference in LIS?

It is good to see that a debate has been opened up on this issue, though to my mind it has been long overdue. I would, however, like to go deep and would like to understand the reason for such a spate of seminars and conferences. There are two aspects of this issue - one is the frequency of seminars and the other is the quality of papers. Regarding the frequency of seminar happenings I have a question. That is, by organizing seminars/conferences does one get extra points in her/his CV? If, during assessment and promotion, one can earn extra points by showing that s/he has organized a seminar/conference, then the driving force of such seminars/conferences is not entirely professional. Regarding the quality of paper - quality of papers rises when such papers are empirical research driven. Unless theories are tested in practice, knowledge cannot expand and without such tested knowledge, most papers would look same. It need not be a research at doctoral study level. One can do small research in her/his library. Instead, most of the time, we find papers which are mini-text books - on topics such as RFID, knowledge management. Very few try to experiment how the concept of knowledge management can be tested in libraries and the benefit out of it.

Re: [LIS-Forum] Are we able to maintain the quality of International Conference in LIS?

Most of our high profiled conferences are gauged by the venue, freebies, delegation fees, invitees (in this order) - not by the contributors/ contributions. It is the reality, which many of our organizers won't agree. Organisers credentials are on how much amount s/he can bring in as sponsorship? As regards to adding value to CV - yes, this need to be included in your resume. If someone does it well, what's the harm in adding it to the CV.? Whatever may be the quality of the Seminar/ Conference, making it happen is in fact tedious. And unless you are a person of substance, you can't accomplish it in a satisfactory manner. KM is an interesting area which is in vogue - people speak more and do less ... Library community, to which even I belong, should be looking for something very appropriate - besides, KM - open access software; IPR; presentation skills, softskills and things which add value to their profession and thereby the parent organisations respect the personnel in the field of Librarianship.

The goal of technological innovations in information services is to enhance the sense of participation and control of IT-empowered users, who easily metamorphose from consumers to creators of information. Libraries, archives and museums, collectively known as memory institutions, are continuously empowering their systems and services with dynamic digital technologies to meet the increasing expectations of users. Information service providers throughout the world are striving to strike a balance between traditional organizational control strategies and user empowerment initiatives. In pursuit of empowerment of users, the National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT) has collaborated with the Art Libraries Section of the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) to organize an international conference from 15th to 17th February, 2011 in New Delhi. The theme of the conference is ‘*User empowerment through digital technologies’. * This conference will offer a forum to deliberate on issues related to user empowerment in libraries, archives and museums, now developing into a unified knowledge repository through digital convergence. This is the first conference in the series titled *“International conference on the Convergence of Libraries, Archives and Museums (ICLAM)”* and NIFT’s third initiative to promote cross-sectoral collaborations in the knowledge sector in India. During the conference all stakeholders contributing to the convergence of libraries, archives and museums will analyze the theme of empowerment of users from multiple perspectives – ranging from user interface and digital preservation technologies to rights of the users and empowerment of disadvantaged user communities. The issue of empowerment is also related to affordability and sustainability of digital technologies particularly in this age of financial instability. Library & Information professionals, archivists and conservators, as end users of open source and commercial software, will discuss trends and problems specific to their own sectors. Leading professionals, academicians and entrepreneurs will also exchange views on other issues related to technological, infrastructural and organizational developments including partnerships in the knowledge sector. *Eminent **Speakers:* CALL FOATIONS * * *Dr. Dinesh Katre* Group Coordinator, Centre for Development of Advance Computing, Pune, India www.cdac.in * * *Mr. GussVan der Brekel* Coordinator, Electronic Services Central Medical Library Netherlands * * *Ms. Heather Brown* Asstt.
