Empowering Library Professional to Empower Society (ELPES) – 7
International Conference on
Next Generation Libraries-2019 (NGL-2019)
New Trends & Technologies, Collaboration & Community Engagement,
Future Librarianship, Library Spaces & Services
December 12 - 14, 2019
As Information Professionals, we live in the age of digital information. Recent studies have shown
that there is a drastic change in user demands needed to support the teaching, learning, and research
activities of the library profession. The desire for physical library collections is in decline. Even
though there is high demand for internet access and allied resources, there are certain user categories
like traditional resources and demand for the physical space in the library. In such conditions,
libraries may reconsider their current spaces and future renovations to reflect these usage trends to
meet the changing requirements of the user community.

In this international conference, library professionals

from different regions of the world will discuss how
Next Generation Libraries (NGL) can be useful for
the library users. This consortium will focus on
themes such as

(a) New Trends & Technologies,

(b) Collaboration & Community engagement, and
(c) Future Librarianship, Library Spaces & Services.

This event is supported by invited talks, panel

discussion and demonstration, case studies on
the above themes. This forum will also provide
a platform to discuss on the above themes
along with related issues and challenges and
probable solutions to overcome risks associated
with the future of different types of libraries.

The conference will connect library

professionals, academic-industry partners, and
allied professionals across the world.
Next Generation Libraries-2019 (NGL-2019) will examine the challenges and solutions faced by the
academic libraries which can be useful for the library policy makers to frame policies to provide
value added services to its users.
