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.
