ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

Information Technology has dramatically impacted the librarian and their
relationship to the communities they serve. As we are at the threshold of
year 2008, we librarians must reassess and reconsider the changing library
environment. Librarians, individually and collectively, cannot ignore the
changing shape of information services that are emerging. Everyone knows
that the primary objective of libraries is to organize and provide access of
information. This objective will never change, but the format and methods
that we have used will change dramatically; thus, providing new
opportunities and challenges. On this backdrop the Conference will focus on
rethinking the role of a library professional, both in relationship to his
personal identity and the community he serves.

The principal objectives of this conference is to provide a platform for
