CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT
Society for Library Professionals (SLP) & University of Delhi South Campus
in Association with
Special Libraries Association, Asian Chapter
are pleased to announce two- day
Library and Information Professionals Summit (LIPS) 2014
“From Brick to Click: Transforming Libraries into Social Spaces”
on Friday-Saturday, 7-8 February 2014 at New Delhi, India
Conference Theme
With the emergence of distributed forms of information in a double click environment, the role of physical libraries have changed considerably over the last ten years, to reflect changes in the nature of education. The importance of collaboration, group work and communication in teaching and learning are widely recognised and the central role of the library as a repository of facts and information is changing. While it is still important to have this kind of resource, it has proven to be a diminishing draw in terms of library traffic.
The notion of transforming libraries into social and cultural spaces is an expansive role for the future library not only serving as an information resource, but much more, with the exact mission and goals evolving and changing over time. A culture-based library is one that taps into the spirit of the community, assessing priorities and providing resources to support the things deemed most important. Libraries are in a unique position to experiment with creative spaces so the future role of the library can define itself. Since the role of the library 20 years from now is still a mystery, libraries need to put their heads together to scratch the surface of many more changes to come and determine what ideas are drawing attention and getting traction.
The conference aims to address the main issues of concern within the framework of this transformation.
Program Structure
The conference program will include plenary sessions, invited and contributed papers, poster sessions, product presentations, panel discussions and an exhibition. A series of parallel sessions will be held offering delegates a wide range of in depth presentations by leading national and international experts.
