About the Conference

The Library and Education have a concurrence relation since ages. The library support to teaching and research has proved indispensable at all times. The LIS profession has been adopting contemporary technological advances to improve its services to the stakeholders. The educational technology has largely been commensurate with the developments in ICT and so with the library and information Science. So the organisers of this Conference deemed it appropriated to make it with an interdisciplinary approach and involved the teaching community get associated with it actively.

Since the time of Unit Record Machines to the latest advanced computing systems, the libraries and education have adopted all contemporary technologies and seen projectile advances. The new millennium has been witnessing more advances in Information and Communication Technologies as such in recent years the Digital Library and Artificial Intelligence is creating inroads in the library and information domain. To understand the basics of Artificial intelligence, the contributions from the teaching community is envisaged beneficial to both the communities. There are different types of libraries, said to be Academic, Public and Special/Corporate Libraries and all of them are keen on adopting the advances in ICT and their applications. The “Linking” envisages to use of emerging “Mobile and Web Technologies” in providing and “Informing” users on their needs and expectations. “Sharing” has been one of the LIS professional gospels since 1940s and presently globally all libraries have been “Networked” for sharing resources of all kinds. The three concepts “Linking, Informing and Sharing” play vital role for the sustaining the library and information systems for providing services to the changing user communities and to the expectations of new educational systems. It is hoped that the Conference will show new directions to the library and information professionals in the country and support the education to reach new heights.
