Ahmedabad Library Network in collaboration with INFLIBNET is organizing In-Service Training Programme for Library Professionals. About the Programme The information era with its electronic facilities has posed many challenges and risks for Libraries and Information Centres. These challenges are manifold but the most important challenge is the change in the very nature of Libraries and working of Librarians. To manage the change successfully, professionals across the sector not only need to adopt the latest developments in information technology, but also require being service-oriented rather than collection building oriented. Marketing of information products and services and other management techniques also become vital in this context. This programme aims at providing inservice training to Library & Information professionals with the following objectives: · To enhance knowledge about latest developments in the field of library and information services · To acquaint with the diverse electronic information sources that help in capacity building as well as providing user-oriented information services and products · To provide insight into sharing resources electronically and use of e-networks to provide efficient service · To provide opportunity to augment communication and reporting skills.
