The changing times and the prevailing knowledge driven age, is becoming all the more difficult to align LIS professionals to the ever changing demands of the stake-holders. The current developments in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) are playing a dominative role in providing right Information to the right user in right format in right time. Knowledge organization is the problem of arranging and classifying what is collectively known as a society in ways that can be easily understood and communicated to others. Traditional human based knowledge organization activities are increasingly challenged by computer-based retrieval techniques. It is appropriate at this crucial juncture to investigate the relative contributions of or both human intervened as well as automated (computer) approaches, the current challenges make it imperative to reconsider the basic understanding. This international conference is an effort in this direction in bridging the gap between the user, resources and mechanized systems, and with the requisite services offered by the LIS professionals. This conference also provides a platform for the LIS professionals across the geographies to gather together, discuss, discover and carry forward right solutions to transform the learning into their workplace to serve their customers better.
