The Philippine Agricultural Libraries and Information Services Network (PhilAgriNet) will hold a half-day forum, with the following details:
FORUM ON NEW PERSPECTIVES IN INFORMATION DELIVERY
CSSAC, Pili, Camarines Sur, September 26, 2008 , 8:00-12:00 noon
RATIONALE
Information technology has become an essential part of our lives as it provides quick and efficient ways to send and receive information, specifically via the WWW. There now exists a virtual community where people can freely share knowledge and experiences anywhere, anytime, across the globe and in various modes made possible by information technology.
Libraries, nowadays, are viewed as outdated and irrelevant compared to web-based information providers. To disprove this notion, the Library needs to transform itself and enhance its services in response to the more sophisticated demands of today's information seekers, while adopting the opportunities offered by IT. The emergent Web 2.0 tools and Library 2.0 paradigm offer opportunities for the relevance and survival of libraries in the digital environment.
The morning forum has the following objectives for librarians and/or information management professionals:
* to have an increased awareness and a better understanding of the new roles/challenges faced by libraries and librarians; and
* to be updated on the advances and the opportunities that IT offers for effective information and library services.
The General Assembly in the afternoon will be for PhilAgriNet members to receive updates and to participate in the election of officers and planning workshop that aims to set plans for activities geared towards the achievement of the network's goals.
REGISTRATION FEE
A registration fee of P200 will be charged to cover snack and lunch during the Forum. PhilAgriNet members need not pay.
