Management for Global Access through the creation, adoption, 
implementation and utilization of DLs. It also intends to offer a common 
platform to put forth innovative ideas, discuss classical knowledge 
management and DL concepts in an open forum, and promote closer 
cooperation between experts and end- 
users. About 40 renowned and experienced speakers from India and abroad 
will be sharing their experiences. For detail information about the
