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. The papers have to be submitted electronically The paper should consist of the title of the paper, name(s) of the author/and their address with an E-mail ID and mobile No. The Abstract should be about 15-200 words followed by at least 5 keywords.

OPAC terminals have been installed in library for self-learning of students. *ABOUT MANLIBNET* (http://manlibnet.in) MANLIBNET was established in 1998 at the first convention jointly organized by the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (IIMA) and Ahmedabad Management Association. The association was established with the primary objective of providing a platform to improve the common understanding among management and business libraries and to promote effective collaboration and resource sharing. *CONFERENCES:* In order to facilitate experience sharing and professionals' network, MANLIBNET organizes annual conferences in collaboration with academic institutions situated in different locations. The leading institutions that have collaborated with MANLIBNET to organize the conferences are IIM, Ahmedabad; IIM, Lucknow; IIM, Kozhikode; XLRI, Jamshedpur; IMT, Ghaziabad; NIFM, Faridabad; Nirma University, Ahmedabad; ICSSR, Mumbai and Delhi; SSIM, Secunderabad; KIIT University, Bhubaneswar; IIHMR, Jaipur; University of Delhi, Delhi; IIM, Indore and EDII, Ahmedabad and TAPMI, Manipal. *LDPs:* In addition to an annual conference, MANLIBNET conducts national level Librarian Development Programs (LDPs) for LIS professionals and knowledge managers in collaboration with various colleges and institutions. *PUBLICATIONS:* Besides publishing of conference proceedings, MANLIBNET publishes a quarterly journal called 'Journal of Library Management' since 2012, which is approved by Registrar of Newspapers and Magazines, New Delhi. *BACKGROUND* Automation and digitization of libraries has a topic of past decade and both of these are considered as a must for any library today. What is currently trending and emphasized upon is innovative practices adopted by libraries globally those attract and bind the users to the library. Some libraries talk about more and more technology adoption; RFID technology, mobile-apps for providing user services; reaching to the patrons at their doorstep, opening library kiosks i.e. to bring library services to the users. Others talk about innovative library facilities aspect that include being knowledge partner rather than a resources provider only; continually training and guiding the users in using library resources. Facilities also include developing facilities for differently abled sections of the users. Another aspect of innovative practices in libraries includes innovation in resources development and procurement. This aspect encompasses again technology aspect as well as order on demand or pay per view procurement and so on. Innovation in staff management and overall management of library and its operations are some other important dimensions. New technology and methods are adopted by various libraries for efficient and timely delivery of their services to users. Publishers are also using innovative technologies in producing and providing contents to the libraries. Rather than just books or journals, they are developing interactive and comprehensive learning modules where one can learn at his/her pace; can judge the performance or understanding levels and so on. Innovation in libraries also include introducing new services that directly appeal to users and as per their changing requirements. Innovation is not static and new innovative practices keep evolving as per change in users’ needs, technology and resources. Innovation is a continued journey. Keeping the above aspects in mind, Management Libraries Network in association with Jaipuria Institute of Management, Noida is organizing an International Conference on “Innovation in Library Technology, Services and Resources - Current Trends in Libraries Globally” on 15-16 September, 2017 at Jaipuria, Noida campus.
