About the Seminar:
Information
Technology has dramatically impacted the Librarians and their relationship to
the communities they serve. As we are at the threshold of year 2009, we
librarians must reassess and reconsider the changing library environment. Librarians, individually and collectively,
cannot ignore the changing shape of Information services that are
emerging. Everyone knows that primary
objective of library is to organize and provide access to information. The objective will never change, but the
format and methods that we have used will change dramatically; thus, providing
new opportunities and challenges. On
this backdrop this Seminar will focus on rethinking the role of a library
professional, both in relationship to his personal identity and the community
he serves.
