About the Conference
Creativity is bringing a new idea that can be used to solve a problem or improve a method or system. Innovation is the
implementation of new ideas to produce a new service or product. Creativity and innovations are different from each other, but
they are interrelated in one way or the other.
Libraries are undergoing tremendous changes and witnessing a paradigm shift from closed to open, physical space to learning
space, physical wall to wired wall, print to electronic, collection to content, local to global resources and access,
ownership to access license, reading for learning, etc.

delivery mechanism, distribution channels in libraries. These rapidly changing information environment calls for restructuring
information services and professions in major ways. Libraries are thriving halls of learning, creativity, and community growth.

environment for learning commons, information common, teaching, research, sharing and collaboration. It should be wellequipped to deliver the library services to the digital, community. They are the way to embrace technology and avoid digital
exclusion.

library to improve and extend the existing systems and services are paramount in the changing information landscape.
