Librarians’ Day 2009

Librarians’ Day.
About the Seminar
Theme: Information Literacy and Changing
Landscape of Libraries with following Sub-Themes:
v Understanding Information Literacy: An overview
v Information Literacy Standards, guidelines,
implementations and outcomes
v Information Literacy & Libraries: Case Studies
Academic, Special & Public Libraries
v Information Literacy and Information Technology
(Library 2.0)
v Recent Trends and Future Directions in
Information Literacy
Information Literacy, the term formerly known by different
names such as: Library Orientation, Bibliographic
Instruction, User Education has now become a much
talked about subject among the library community. This
new concept concentrates more on cognitive (i.e.,
knowing) & transferable skills, such as problem solving,
evaluation & communication. Basically, Information
Literacy Skills deal with how to find information, retrieve
it, evaluate it, organize or repackage it, so that the
information can be effectively used.
Why is Information Literacy essential for Librarians in
this digital era?
The right information to the right person at the right
time is an essential key to success for a person or
organization. Librarians need the expertise to
locate & retrieve the information to,
1. enable easy access to information resources in all
formats, after ascertaining its currency & relevance,
2. identify & acquire most relevant materials,
3. organize those materials in an easily accessible
manner,
4. train staff to access & use the information and
5. market the same to create new knowledge.
The National Knowledge Commission has been
advocating the building of Knowledge Societies so that
the power of information & communication can be used
to access knowledge & thereby enable people to
achieve their full potential. The concept of Information
Literacy is therefore extremely important to enable
people to make effective use of Information &
Communication Technology.

“The greatest challenge facing us today is how to 04:00 pm - 04:30 pm Concluding Session
organize information into structured knowledge. We
must rise above the obsession with quantity of 04:30 pm Tea
information and the speed of transmission, and focus on
the fact that the key issue for us is our ability to organize Organized jointly by
the information once it has been amassed, to assimilate
it, to find meaning in it, and to assure its survival. And Ahmedabad Library Network
that cannot be done without reading and literacy.” (ADINET),
