Topic:
Access to the Information Resources: The Transition in the Digital Era
Speaker:
Prof. Sai Baba Magapu, TV Raman Pai Chair Professor, National Institutes of
Advanced Studies (NIAS), IISc, Bangalore
Why to Attend?
Providing access to information resources plays a crucial role in carrying
out research, taking the outcomes of the R&D into tangible products and
more importantly imparting education. With getting connected in the digital
space becoming the new norm, the transition of users seeking information
about information becoming available to the users has happened; more
importantly the emergence and dominance of newer non-library information
sources. Open science and open access to information resources have been in
discussion for some time. Taking cognition of the change in the way
information is becoming available, libraries and librarians are making the
transition. Traditional Librarians to Information Officers to Knowledge
Managers. The talk would summarise some of the developments and the need
for reskilling of the information science professionals to adapt to the
change and the opportunities it offers would also be discussed.
