Hi Pathy
That was a beautiful question reaised by you. There are of course both pros and cons of the deabte. Still 'international' does not hold any specific meaning or definition. We consider this in a couple of sense that when the particpants are or at least one particpant is from foreign country or the contributions are from the countries other than the host country can be treated as international. And sometimes people associated with the conference wants to be highlighted or gaining popularity. This is the human aspect of it.
Any way there is no harm to raise and debate any queation of that sort.

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 contribute their ideas/ pros and cons.
Thanking you
