CFP: Library Spaces: Building Effective and Sustainable Physical and Virtual Libraries

CFP: Library Spaces: Building Effective and Sustainable Physical and Virtual Libraries

The Rizal Library Conference Committee invites proposals for papers to the “The Fourth Rizal Library International Conference” to be held at the Leong Hall Auditorium, Ateneo de Manila University, Quezon City, Philippines on 25-26 October 2010.

“Library Spaces: Building Effective and Sustainable Physical and Virtual Libraries.”

The changing information landscape is influencing the physical library and changing it from a collection-based library into a learning commons or community center where people can access and share information. As information becomes more available online, the community center role of libraries will become increasingly important both in the physical and virtual spaces. Library users are now in Facebook, Multiply, Twitter and other social networking sites and the library must also join these communities to reach existing and potential library users. This conference is about building physical and virtual library spaces where people can get free information and share ideas.
