As librarians, we are living in a digital age, a time of relentless change. This changing media landscape, together with the rapid growth in information, is affecting individuals and societies now more than ever, and information literacy competencies will be crucial to their success. What is the new face of information literacy in this complex, multifaceted information environment of the future and how can librarians redefine their roles and help shape this changing landscape?
You are invited to join in this dialogue by submitting proposals addressing the following topics:
A. Information literacy and lifelong learning in a changing landscape
