To make libraries more accessible to users and to promote self-reliance and lifelong learning, libraries must introduce advanced technologies to revitalize their services. This would help libraries deliver services to their patrons more efficiently. Libraries are vital for getting access to information and have become de facto providers of basic digital literacy training, such as use of Google. Present libraries are trying to change their perception from collection spaces to creative spaces. The behaviour of library users in the Google generation has drastically changed in recent years.
Libraries and Librarians play a vital role in organizing and communicating knowledge to the digital natives. One of the most pressing issues facing today is how to revitalize library services to serve the digital native. Keeping those in mind, the organizers have planned a three-day ICSSR Sponsored SALIS 2023: National Conference on ‘Revitalizing Libraries in Google Generation’.
This conference provides a platform for all stakeholders in the field of Library and Information Science to design innovative services using modern technologies and new user interfaces to reach and serve the Google Generation. The conference will also explore how libraries can be revitalized to enhance the dissemination of information and impart values through libraries and library professionals in the current technological era.
The Central Library, National Engineering College, Kovilpatti, Tamil Nadu, jointly with the Society for the Advancement of Library and Information Science (SALIS), Chennai, is organizing a three day ICSSR Sponsored SALIS 2023: National Conference on 'Revitalizing Libraries in Google Generation' during 12th to 14th October 2023.
