Call for Papers: International Conference on Embedded Education and Instruction of New Models of Library Service
October 2017
Beijing, China
In the ever-changing information age, library users become more sophisticated and diverse. In order to adapt to those new developments, academic libraries must actively change service concepts and methods by using modern technology and tools, building digital libraries, optimizing library resources, introducing subject librarian service, and innovatively embedding in education and teaching. In addition, academic libraries must strive to give attention to their advantages in resources, assisting teaching and research to enhance the functionality and quality of service. International Conference on Embedded Education and Instruction of New Models of Library Service will be held in October 2017 in Beijing, China.
This will be the 4th conference in the series of the International Conference on Library Cooperation and Resource Sharing.

R. China) are organizing the conference. Library and information science colleagues from around the world are cordially invited to submit conference papers.
