In the age of Techno – Scientific revolution, the sheer quantity of knowledge and information is expanding exponentially and increasingly. As a result, the Libraries and Information Centers are facing growing challenges to organize increasingly diverse collections and make information readily accessible to users. Public, Academic, Special and Corporate Libraries are expected to provide their users with the right tools to easily find information in multiple resources. Logical decision making is an important part of all management based professions where specialists apply their knowledge in a given area to take decisions. The managers of knowledge resource centers are working with the quantitative and descriptive models for decision making, management and planning. The combination of the concepts, decision making and new investment is an emerging management technique used in most of the disciplines and the Libraries and Information centers are not exceptions to it. Therefore, the conference would be an attempt in this direction to exploit the application of Decision making theories and models for the successful management of Knowledge Resource Centers. This theme is proposed with a hope that the deliberations of this conference would help to improve the effectiveness, efficiency, flexibility and competitiveness of the Knowledge Resource Centers as a whole by way of involving everyone in the organization towards improving the ways in which things are done. This conference will comprise of One day Pre-conference Tutorial and Two days Conference.
