Call for Papers: On Redefining Libraries in Electronic Age (RLEA-2013)- National Conference at VTU, Belgaum
by Dr.K.R. Mulla 31 Aug '13

31 Aug '13

Dear Sir/Madam, I am happy to inform you that, Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU) is organising a National Conference on “Redefining Libraries in Electronic Age (RLEA-2013)”, in the month of November, 2013. At VTU Campus, Belgaum. The role of Library and Information Centers in the present era is ever changing and the traditional services have taken a new shape in the light of developments in Information and Communication Technologies [ICTs]. Physical locations for ease of access to Library resources no longer an issue. Now Libraries are facilitating their users with 24 x 7 access using Internet Technology. Today physical use of libraries is declining drastically and most of the Librarians are expressing their concern over this development and are feeling insecure due to fall of user attendance in Libraries. This need not be the concern of Librarians. Today the users are techno-savvy and access more information than the earlier users. The libraries used to supply limited reference resources to their users earlier, but today’s users will get multiple resources on their fingertips. Hence the concern for Librarians of these days should be to redefine the role of Libraries in reaching out the right information to the right user at a right time. Hence a National Conference has been organized to provide a platform for discussing following main issues: Conference Theme: Redefining Libraries in Electronic Age Sub Themes: 1. Redefining library building • Effective utilization of physical space • Additional facilities for library users 2. Redefining the organization of knowledge • Classification • Cataloguing 3. Redefining collection development, Information sources and services • Collection development • Information sources and services • Electronic sources and services • Evaluation of Information Sources • Library networking and consortia • Open Access 4. Redefining the management of library and information centers • Planning • HRM & HRD • Financial management and budgeting • TQM • Knowledge management • Leadership and Public relations & Advocacy • Soft skills for librarians 5. Redefining the ICT applications for libraries • Integrated Library Management Software [ILMS] • Digital library technologies and digital preservation • Content Management Systems [CMS] • Internet technology • Open Source Software • Web 2.0 applications • Mobile technologies 6. Redefining the User Education • Information Literacy • Computer literacy • Digital literacy 7. Redefining the information society and information science • Dr.S.R. Ranganathan’s school of thought • Relevance of Five Laws of Library Science in the present Internet era 8. Redefining LIS education • LIS as an Applied science • LIS curriculum • Collaboration of Library and LIS departments • Library as a laboratory for LIS education • Online Courses in LIS • Open Educational Resources (OER) How to submit papers: Papers using the following author guidelines may please be submitted over email at: krmulla(a)vtu.ac.in or krmulla(a)gmail.com on or before the due date. • Submit unpublished and original papers in MS-Word .doc or .docx format using Double Space and Times new Roman 12 font size • Paper should have Title, Author/s name, Affiliation with complete address and E-mail address of authors, Abstract maximum of one paragraph and list of main Keywords. • References need to be as per APA (American Psychological Association) reference/citation Style guide • Tables or figures need to be incorporated in the text at appropriate places and numbered serially • Size of the paper (A4 size) between 4 and 8 pages Who can Participate? Library and Information Science professionals working in academic and research institutes, corporate offices and public libraries.
