Dear Professional(s),It is seen that for the last 4/5 years we in India organised so many International Conference in the field of Library & Information Science, many more are coming and more will come in future. In this regard I would like to discuss few points as mentioned below:1. Although this kind of international conference promotes many activities including interaction, debate, resource sharing, exchange of ideas, writing articles etc. Is it the right time to organise this many international conference?2. Is it justified to have International Conference by the same institutes/body every year? Don't we degrading the value of International conference?3. If so, why don't we regulating the system through our associations, body etc? Why not in 3/4yrs on rotation?4. Are the quality of papers accepted for the international conferences are of high standard?I think this is the right time that we should discuss the above topic and I invite all the great professionals to con! tribute their ideas/ pros and cons.Thanking youSushanta Kumar PathyCentral Library,Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), BhubaneswarSamantapuri (Rear-side of Hotel Swosti Plaza)Bhubaneswar- 751013, ODISHAEmail: spathy@iitbbs.ac.inOffice:0674-2306292www.iitbbs.ac.inwww.iitbbs.gov.in -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
