Convention on Automation of Libraries in Education and Research Institutions (CALIBER) is an annual convention, organised by INFLIBNET Centre in collaboration with different Universities. CALIBER 2015 is 10th International CALIBER which will be held at HP University  and IIAS Shimla during 1214 March 2015. CALIBER 2015 offers a unique opportunity to information professionals and knowledge managers to expand their horizons and extend professional expertise. It is a focused event that addresses latest trends on an important theme and sub themes. CALIBER brings together practitioners and academicians in the field of library and information science and computer science from across the world. Leading experts, IT gurus, and vendors from around the globe participate in the event. CALIBER has proved to be a forum for renowned and trend-setting speakers to stimulate strategic discussions among librarians, information specialists, publishers from all over the country and beyond. The theme of the 10th International CALIBER is " Innovative Librarianship: Adapting to Digital Realities.

The India Institute of Advanced Study Shimla was originally built as a home for Lord Dufferin <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick_Hamilton-Temple-Blackwood,_1st_Marquess_of_Dufferin_and_Ava> , Viceroy of India <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Governor-General_of_India> from 1884?1888 and was called the Viceregal Lodge <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rashtrapati_Niwas>. It housed all the subsequent viceroys and governors general of India. It was summer capital of British rule in India. It occupied Observatory Hill, one of the seven hills that Shimla is built upon. The ambiance is royal and extravagant. The building was designed by Henry Irwin <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Irwin>, an architect in the Public Works Department. The Viceregal Lodge had electricity as early as 1888, much before the rest of the town of Shimla. The building also was equipped with a sophisticated firefighting mechanism through wax-tipped water ducts.

I, on behalf of Organizing Committee, I extend you a warm invitation to attend and participate in the International Convention in which renowned personalities from library profession will deliberate. I am sure that the discussions and interaction during the convention will promote wider understanding of the subject and provide solutions and ways to the Information Access in Modern Society. I take this opportunity to extend my

invitation to you to contribute the research/case studies to theme and sub themes for the presentation and publication.

I look forward to meeting you in Shimla.
