Libraries are social institutes where information and knowledge is disseminated to the users whenever users need it. The availability of information is much faster due to the applications of the technologies. Use of ICT in libraries has drastically changed the activities and functions of libraries. The growth of knowledge is doubling very fast and in different formats and there is a need to transfer, communicate and filter the information for the users to conduct research and help towards the development of an information society. According to Dr. S. R. Ranganathan “The best function of the library is to assist users in providing the right information, to the right users at right time”.

In this modern digital era of information explosion, library and information professionals are facing many challenges, to redefine their role and also redesign the library and information services and to adapt to the new technologies. This makes it pertinent to know more about the latest technologies available for the use of libraries. Hence, it is very important to learn and adopt new technologies and services for the Librarians and they have to upgrade their skills and knowledge by attending this type of national-level conferences and workshops to design and redesign according to the changing needs of the library users.

This conference offers librarians to share LIS best practices, issues, technology and trends through articles and to adopt the Best Library Services in their respective higher education libraries and many more.

The Conference will provide an opportunity to interact and discuss key concepts of Library management from the experts and other senior librarians of various organizations.
