INTRODUCTION:
Since last two decades the profile
of the libraries, their resources and services are on constant and persistent
change. The Library professionals are facing a fabulous task of managing
traditional and new information resources and equally there are “here today and
gone tomorrow” modes of services and products that Libraries are required to
entertain. The users’ needs are changing and the library use patterns are also
on the verge of new needs. In this context the conference chose a topic that is
contemplated over again and again, where the professionals are required to face
new types of libraries under the nomenclature “Libraries without walls, Electronic
Libraries, Digital Libraries, Virtual Libraries” and so on.
The Department of Library and
Information Science, Karnatak University, Dharwad in its Golden Jubilee year,
organizing 58th Indian Library Association International Conference

and important as there are persistent deliberations going across the world on
what would be the future of the libraries and librarianship, from its contents,
from the stand point of organization and the tools and techniques of providing
access to varieties of knowledge resources.
It
is a suitable occasion to discuss this vital issue on completion of 100 years

58th ILA International Conference
Resolutions and Recommendations:
In
conclusion of these proceedings the following Resolutions (Draft) have emerged
and the same are placed before the audience for their perusal and consideration.
- It
is inferred from the presentation of papers on the subtheme “Best
Practices in LIS” that the new generation libraries required revised
benchmarks for the taking stock of the infrastructure facilities and
services. In the context of growing assessment and evaluation process,
especially in the academic environment, formulation of the renewed
parameters on Benchmarking and best practices in the context of emerging
new generation libraries is envisaged. The conference hence resolved and
recommends undertaking suitable steps in this context, and the
institutions and the professional bodies should initiate proper actions in
the matter.
- The
infrastructure for preparing manpower to handle the present state of
libraries is quite adequate in our country. There are some gaps in the
delivery of pedagogical issues in the context, such as preparing new
generation leaders and experts in the emerging areas of LIS and in
particular new generation libraries. The Conference is of the opinion that
the course curriculum of the present LIS schools should attempt to
inculcate the leadership and decision making concepts in the teaching,
training and continuing education programmes of LIS.
- The
growth of information industry is quite visible now and the output of
varieties of information and knowledge resources is on the rise. In this context it is recommended that
suitable training programmes on “Marketing of Information Products and
Services” be undertaken so that the products of LIS Schools find new
avenues for employment.
- The
last two decades have witnessed a tremendous growth of e-resources, in the
form of e-books, digital library consortia and so on. There is a need for
the concentrating on the “Management of e- Resources “ and the programmes
and courses on the management of new kinds of information and knowledge
resources should be focused more intensively than before. The conference
recommends that the LIS Schools and Professional bodies design specialized
courses in this context to prepare the manpower for the future.
- There
is a growing impetus on the availability of OSS and Open Access resource
mobilization like IRs and Self- archiving.
The deliberations in the conference revealed that the pace of
building IRs is very moderate and there is an urgent need to initiate
suitable actions to intensify building Open Access Resources at all levels
and in all sectors viz., education, industry and government. This will
provide proper visibility to such efforts and would encourage
collaboration among different sectors for mutual sharing of the resources.
