Abstract:

The call for papers and poster presentations is out and the deadline closes July 31, 2012. The conference calls for presentations on the library and information landscape but also asks for researchers to relate the topic to the Caribbean.


Excerpt:

"The theme asks participants to envision how the changing information
environment is impacting the role and functions of libraries, librarians, as
well as library and information science education and research and
information users. Further, persons are asked to relate this change to the
current situation in the Caribbean."
